One thing I’ve found useful creating these frameworks is to get input from the people in your org while you’re designing it. They can often help you identify what’s unclear, missing, or unreasonable. It also becomes easier to get people’s buy-in if it was made with them and given to them as a resource and growth tool instead of something that was created in a vacuum and thrust upon them.
100%! These things - like almost all of the work we do - should be done in the open, and be collaborative and consultative in approach. Ideally what you are doing here is codifying the ways in which you already talk to your team about professional development, but where there are gaps, it pays to be really transparent about that too.

Thanks for sharing, Stuart!! 😄
