- That the written presentation (own development plan) contains
an identification and prioritization of significant characteristics
and possible development measures in relation to one's own
current working life.
- That the student's analytical-theoretical reflections
demonstrate great certainty in perspectivism - ie. in a
broad-spectrum and critical application of theory as well as in a
well-argued understanding of the relevance of (or lack of the same)
and possibly application of the subject's theories, analysis
models and concepts to the student's own development as well as
organizational context
- That both the written material and the oral performance contain
elements of progression in the reflections through the teaching
course modules, the home assignments, the post-processing of them
after receiving feedback from teachers and fellow students, as well
as the performed experiments and experiments with behavior change
in own organization.
- That, on the basis of the subject's syllabus, adequate
analytical-theoretical reflection on own performance and
development initiatives is reflected with an appropriate degree of
both analytical-theoretical and practice-related
self-criticism

Description of the exam
procedure
The written product is a personal development
plan.

Personal development is an integral part of both employee and
leadership development processes in the Western world - so firm in
fact that today one can speak of a development requirement.
Contemporary employees in the modern, flat network organization are
expected to be flexible, development-oriented and outgoing, so that
they can commit themselves in a world characterized by change,
dynamism and eternal acceleration. As an individual, you are
therefore exposed to a marked normative pressure to be ready for
change, to be able to quickly absorb new knowledge, and not get
stuck in outdated value sets and inflexible notions. Alongside the
demand for development, however, a number of critical and negative
aspects of modern working life are being discussed as never before.
Work-life balance, stress and stress management, and even
depression have become central themes in the personnel policy of
the modern workplace, as well as in a gentle stream of well-being
and work environment measurements. But how do you find your place
in the organization and working life in general, if the requirement
is that you must stand firm and be ready for development at the
same time? How do you navigate if the requirement is that you must
be flexible and robust at the same time? In the subject Action
Power and Integrity, we seek answers to such questions by focusing
on the way we account for ourselves - that is, on the narratives we
construct about our organizations and our place in them in order to
live up to and match the norms of the time, the environment.
expectations and management requirements. We focus on the ability
to consider, interpret and understand the organizational contexts
we are part of and seek to explore and develop tools to
simultaneously maintain and develop them. The subject's
starting point is thus to offer a critical, reflective and
meaningful view of personal and organizational development which
promotes the individual's organizational power and integrity.
The central methodological and pedagogical starting point for the
subject will be perspectivism - in both theoretical and
practice-related sense. Ie. that in the teaching a number of
developmental psychological and organizational theoretical
perspectives will be reviewed, and that you will be required to be
able to reflect and apply these perspectives in relation to your
own organization and company.
