Staff Development Officers Discussion Forum I:
The Role of Staff Development During Organisational Restructuring

Speakers: Ann Cummings (Brunel) and Donald Lickley (KCL)

CPD25 is very pleased to offer an afternoon discussion forum on the role of staff development during periods of organisational restructuring on Wednesday 24th March 2010. The event will begin with lunch and will be followed by two case studies and a breakout discussion session.

The aim of the informal discussion forum is to explore what is expected of Staff Development Officers by both employers and employees during periods of major organisational restructuring.

The objectives of the afternoon are to:

• Identify some of the key roles and initiatives which staff development will be expected to provide
• Learn and benefit from the past experience of Staff Development Officers at other libraries
• Exchange ideas and experience during the breakout session.

This afternoon seminar will benefit Staff Development Officers and those staff who are involved with programming staff training.
