Performance Centred Leadership (PCL)

Within the Leadership and Management area is the Performance Centred Leadership Framework .  This is fundamental to the development of a culture of high performance which impacts on business performance, the way we deal with our customers, manage our suppliers and develop the people who work for us.

Developing You Frameworks

We have created frameworks for all our major Business Functions, which define in detail the skills, competencies and knowledge required to deliver functional capability within the business. As an example details of the Engineering Developing You framework are given below.

Engineering Developing You (EDY)

Engineering is the core capability of the company and is vital to continually improve our performance.  Our capability rests in our people and the processes we use must be continuously developed to meet the challenges that face us.

The "Engineering Developing You" provides a framework to over 30,000 engineers that helps to map engineering capability to individuals’ career aspirations and BAE Systems’ business needs. It provides the basis for
training and development solutions that will deliver
the engineering capability we need to be successful.

EDY Objectives

• Co-ordinate engineering career development within a common framework
• Maximise the efficiency of engineering development across BAE Systems
• Support the use of common engineering processes and language
• Ensure the development matches business strategy
• Establish EDY ‘brand’ as benchmark best-in-class development

The EDY framework is made up of three elements

• The career map
• The competency framework
• Training and development solutions

The EDY Framework is applicable to all engineering staff regardless of their background or original discipline. BAE SYSTEMS formally recognises 6 disciplines of engineering.

These six disciplines are:

• Systems Engineering
• Electronics and Electrical Engineering
• Software Engineering
• Mechanics and Structures Engineering
• Manufacturing Engineering
• Support Engineering

The EDY Framework is concerned with systematic managed career development throughout the working life of a BAE Systems engineer.  It is equally applicable to graduates, and engineering directors, and all the career stages in between.
