Resource Selection Process

There are lots of different ways to find a resource that suits your particular development needs.

Our approach is to review all of the personal development resources that come to our attention. While this may occur in a variety of ways - from “best of” lists, to forums and commentary, to the tools we have used and loved - the assessment process we put them through is the same.

Using our Resource Evaluation Template, we evaluate each tool against four key areas:

1. Context - the clarity and professionalism of the resource
2. Content - the appropriateness and variety of the resource
3. Design - the structure and appeal of the resource
4. Technical Aspects - the accessibility and interactivity of the resource

Our approach is consistent, but unashamedly subjective. We rate each resource according to our honest reactions.

And while we don’t publicise the actual score against the criteria, we are committed to providing the necessary information to assist you to make an informed decision about the merits of a resource.
