Programme Manager – Learning and Development

Overview

The Archbishops’ Advisers for Appointments and Development (AAAD) provide leadership development for senior Bishops and Deans and also supports senior appointments within the Church and works closely with Dioceses to identify and support those with the potential for senior office/wider responsibility. It also provides leadership development, including coordinating the support to the Ministerial Development Review (MDR) process.

The leadership development agenda continues to evolve and each year there are a wide range of interesting priorities.

An immediate priority is the refresh of the Ministerial Development Review (MDR) for Diocesan Bishops. This process includes regular guided discussions and feedback framed around an office holder’s ministry. MDR examines the past and current accountabilities and shapes future accountabilities. Based on the review a plan for personal ministerial growth and development is agreed.

During 2019 the update of the MDR process for Diocesan Bishops has taken place and a pilot of a refreshed approach is due to commence from early 2020. Part of the pilot will require identification and implementation of a web based digital solution to support the process.
