COMPETENCY 3-B

The ability to form and conduct life plans and personal projects 

This competency applies the concept of project management to individuals. It requires individuals to interpret life as an organised narrative and to give it meaning and purpose in a changing environment, where life is often fragmented.

This competency assumes an orientation toward the future, implying both optimism and potential, but also a firm grounding within the realm of the feasible. Individuals must be able, for instance, to:

    ● Define a project and set a goal;

    ● Identify and evaluate both the resources to which they have access and the resources they needs (e.g. time and money);

   ● Prioritise and refine goals;

  ● Balance the resources needed to meet multiple goals;

 ● Learn from past actions, projecting future outcomes; and

  ● Monitor progress, making necessary adjustments as a project unfolds.
