19 March - 20 March 2003
Mission Planning
With the emphatic shift towards information superiority as a military doctrine in the US and Europe, effective military operations are becoming increasingly important in realising national objectives.

Today missions are more and more likely to be joint or coalition based and the ability for militaries to share information, plans and control is essential to an operation’s success. Mission Planning and Mission Management is a growing field of interest. The design of an operation and its ability to achieve its objective is key to an operations success and therefore a primary concern to the military.

This conference aims to address all aspects of mission management: mission planning, mission rehearsal, mission control and mission monitoring.

Programme highlights:
· COMPREHEND the topical importance and application of Mission Planning in the military arena
· DISCOVER the key enablers to establishing joint and service specific planning initiatives
· ANALYSE the benefits and increasing significance of virtual mission rehearsal and synthetic environments
· DEVELOP awareness of distributed and embedded training for military operations
· IDENTIFY technology developments and review situational applications
· KEEP up-to-date with the changing climate that is Mission Planning through focused networking

Valuable contributions from senior representatives:
· Commander Edmundo Bellini, JMPS Multi-Service Program Manager, Naval Air Systems Command, US Navy
· Lieutenant Colonel William ‘Spike’ Jones, Deputy Commander, Command & Control Training and Innovation Group, US Air Force
· Lieutenant Colonel John Pino, Deputy Director, Air Force Weather Weapon System, Combat Air Forces Command and Control System Program Office, US Air Force

    WHAT IS CPD?

    CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development’. It is essentially a philosophy, which maintains that in order to be effective, learning should be organised and structured. The most common definition is:

    ‘A commitment to structured skills and knowledge enhancement for Personal or Professional competence’

    CPD is a common requirement of individual membership with professional bodies and Institutes. Increasingly, employers also expect their staff to undertake regular CPD activities.

    Undertaken over a period of time, CPD ensures that educational qualifications do not become obsolete, and allows for best practice and professional standards to be upheld.

    CPD can be undertaken through a variety of learning activities including instructor led training courses, seminars and conferences, e:learning modules or structured reading.

    CPD AND PROFESSIONAL INSTITUTES

    There are approximately 470 institutes in the UK across all industry sectors, with a collective membership of circa 4 million professionals, and they all expect their members to undertake CPD.

    For some institutes undertaking CPD is mandatory e.g. accountancy and law, and linked to a licence to practice, for others it’s obligatory. By ensuring that their members undertake CPD, the professional bodies seek to ensure that professional standards, legislative awareness and ethical practices are maintained.

    CPD Schemes often run over the period of a year and the institutes generally provide online tools for their members to record and reflect on their CPD activities.

    TYPICAL CPD SCHEMES AND RECORDING OF CPD (CPD points and hours)

    Professional bodies and Institutes CPD schemes are either structured as ‘Input’ or ‘Output’ based.

    ‘Input’ based schemes list a precise number of CPD hours that individuals must achieve within a given time period. These schemes can also use different ‘currencies’ such as points, merits, units or credits, where an individual must accumulate the number required. These currencies are usually based on time i.e. 1 CPD point = 1 hour of learning.

    ‘Output’ based schemes are learner centred. They require individuals to set learning goals that align to professional competencies, or personal development objectives. These schemes also list different ways to achieve the learning goals e.g. training courses, seminars or e:learning, which enables an individual to complete their CPD through their preferred mode of learning.

    The majority of Input and Output based schemes actively encourage individuals to seek appropriate CPD activities independently.

    As a formal provider of CPD certified activities, SAE Media Group can provide an indication of the learning benefit gained and the typical completion. However, it is ultimately the responsibility of the delegate to evaluate their learning, and record it correctly in line with their professional body’s or employers requirements.

    GLOBAL CPD

    Increasingly, international and emerging markets are ‘professionalising’ their workforces and looking to the UK to benchmark educational standards. The undertaking of CPD is now increasingly expected of any individual employed within today’s global marketplace.
