Elements of group dynamics

You are asked to develop an electronic portfolio of evidence which includes
four sections that respond to the following tasks:
Activity 1
• Evaluate what it means to be an HR professional, making reference to the
CIPD 2018 Profession Map. This can be accessed at
https://peopleprofession.cipd.org/profession-map
Activity 2
• Briefly describe the elements of group dynamics and give at least two
examples of conflict resolution methods within an HR context.
Activity 3
With reference to a recent or current project (large or small) which you have
led (or been part of a project team):
• Provide evidence of using project management and problem-solving
techniques in the course of the project.
• Explain how you successfully influenced, persuaded and negotiated with
others in the course of the project (or other related activity).
Activity 4
• Undertake a self-assessment of your practice against selected areas of the
CIPD 2018 Profession Map (ie at least one area of core knowledge, one
area of specialist knowledge and one core behaviour (all at associate or
member level)) OR other (eg organisational) specification. Identify your
professional development needs in that area and options to address these.
• Produce a professional development plan (PDP) plan to meet your
professional development needs which includes a justification of the
option(s) chosen.
• During your programme, provide a reflective summary of your performance
against the plan. You should also identify any future development needs
and record these in your PDP.

Evidence to be produced/required
A portfolio of evidence of approximately 2600 words in total (excluding the PDP) that responds to
each of the four tasks.
You should relate academic concepts, theories and professional practice to the way
organisations operate, in a critical and informed way, and with reference to key texts, articles
and other publications and by using organisational examples for illustration.
All reference sources should be acknowledged correctly and a bibliography provided where
appropriate (these should be excluded from the word count).
