Modified Career Path Appreciation (MCPA™)
The Modified Career Path Appreciation (MCPA) is an online variant of the full Career Path Appreciation. The individual completes an online questionnaire, followed by a one-on-one conversation with an MCPA practitioner during which the individual has an opportunity to explore and reflect on his/her career, aspirations, the type of work he/she finds challenging and stimulating, and elements of work that frustrate him/her. The MCPA Practitioner arrives at an understanding of the type of work that challenges and stimulates the individual at present (we refer to this as FLOW) as well as how this is likely to develop and mature over time
The outcome of a MCPA is a mutual recognition of the current scope of a person’s ability to make decisions (their current level of capability) and of their potential longer-term development (growth curve), using the The Matrix of Working Relationships (MWR) ©BIOSS as a theoretical framework.
In summary, the (M)CPA determines an individual’s:
- Current capability to manage complexity, ambiguity, and uncertainty;
- Decision-making capability (operational through to strategic);
- Theme of Work where he / she will experience ‘flow’ and engagement;
- Rate of growth and identification of future potential;
- Readiness for upward or lateral career movements
