Driving Growth: Individual Development Plan and AI Integration

In today's rapidly evolving business landscape, growth and individual development are more important than ever. As Frederic Patitucci, Chief People & Culture Officer at Philip Morris International (PMI), highlights in his article "Unlocking Innovation Through People: PMI's Growth-Oriented Culture," the growth of our people is directly linked to the growth of our business Collaboration and innovation in company culture is crucial for business growth. This sentiment is echoed by Jacek Olczak, Chief Executive Officer at PMI, who emphasizes the importance of honest feedback and continuous learning in driving meaningful progress.

At PMI, the cultural framework known as PMI DNA unites the company around shared values, behaviors, and a universal sense of togetherness and belonging. This framework fosters an environment where curiosity, agility, and collaboration are embedded in everything we do, empowering our people to push boundaries and redefine what is possible.

Growth at PMI is about much more than promotions or new roles—it is about evolving with the organization, constantly upskilling, and unlocking potential every day. 

As we look to the future, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into our individual development plans (IDPs) offers exciting opportunities to enhance personal growth and organizational success. AI can provide valuable insights, personalized recommendations, and real-time feedback, helping individuals align their goals with business needs and navigate their career journeys with intention and impact.

Empower My Growth: Own My Individual Development Plan

There is a well-known saying, "The future depends on what you do today." These wise words invite us to seize every moment as an opportunity to push our boundaries and take actions that will bring us closer to our desired goals. 

Why Our Individual Development Plan (IDP) Matters

At PMI, our IDP isn't just an exercise. It's our roadmap to discovering and making the most of all the learning and development opportunities available to enable my growth. Think of my IDP as:

• My long-term growth plan: A living document to help me identify my development and learning objectives.

• It starts with me: Self-reflection is key to building your Individual Development Plan.

• A shared journey: My manager is there to co-create with me, offering feedback, support, and guidance.

• My growth is PMI’s growth: Unlocking my skills nurtures creativity and innovation across our business.

Kickstart my IDP with Copilot

Using AI can help optimize and enhance my IDP creation process. Here are some tips:

• Set my baseline: Ask Copilot to summarize my strengths and development areas using sources like 360 feedback and year-end review.

• Dive Deeper: Use Copilot to refine my findings and suggest key areas of focus.

• Make it Actionable: Define how I will achieve my goals with SMART criteria.

• Co-create for impact: Refine and review insights from Copilot with my manager.
