PMDS and Strategic Planning

Promoting an innovative workplace, with 'people at its heart', that nurtures and supports colleagues.

As part of its Strategic Plan, TU Dublin has identified eight strategic themes, one of which, Great People in an Innovative Workplace has as its goal:

A modern workplace, that recognises ‘people’ as its key asset and provides the ethos and systems to nurture and support colleagues.  The Strategic Plan is available here.

Team Development Plans

Team Development plans contain an agreed list of PMDS objectives for a group, together with an action plan setting out how they will be achieved. The TDP will also list any dependencies and issues which have to be resolved in order to achieve the plan, along with any identified group requirements for training and development. 

The Strategic Development Office are happy to advise School/Department teams and offer assistance to design their Team Development Plans.  To avail of this please contact Margaret Whelan, Head Strategic Development, TU Dublin Grangegorman.
