Professional Development–Between Reengineering and Continuous Improvement

The Reengineering and continuous improvement are considered extreme approaches in the “life” of an organization. The present studies underline both the major differences and the resemblances between them. The objective of our study consists in bringing the meaning of these two approaches into the personal life development. The orientation towards one of them depends on several individual characteristics. There were applied several tests that deal with personality, the “taste” for risk, self-fulfillment through career, adaptability to changes etc. These tests were implemented in a software system. The results pointed the correspondences between the life stage and the suited personal development model.
