The Career Blueprint

Introducing the Career Blueprint in partnership with HRNZ

Take control of your HR career with the Career Blueprint —a unique career scoping tool designed by Julia Stones, Distinguished Fellow of HRNZ, over 25 years ago. Available now to both HRNZ members and non-members, this practical and powerful programme offers you a personalised roadmap to help you proactively plan and achieve your career aspirations.

What is the Career Blueprint? 

The Career Blueprint is an in-depth career planning tool that empowers you to take control of your career direction. It provides a structured approach to evaluating the current stage of your career, envisioning your future and mapping out a comprehensive and practical action plan to achieve your career goals.

With the Career Blueprint, you will:

Scope and envision your career thinking to date to create your career path
Benchmark how your Career Blueprint aligns to the next role you explore
Guide your career decisions with a structured framework to enable a better, more informed decision about where you have a higher probability for setting yourself up for success
Develop a clear, measurable Action Plan to keep you on track

Why Use the Career Blueprint?

Research has shown that 95% of us don’t plan our careers strategically unless we have a vocation where the way forward is clear. The Career Blueprint changes that by offering a simple, practical methodology to make informed, confident decisions about your next career step. This tool is suitable for professionals at any stage of their HR career, providing long-lasting value that evolves with your professional growth.

What You’ll Receive

With the Career Blueprint, you get a personalised career plan tailored to your aspirations. This includes:

A deep dive into your goals and values
A progress assessment to measure the current stage of your career
A career roadmap that guides your future choices
An action plan to achieve both short- and long-term career success

Completing your Career Blueprint will earn you 15 CPD points toward your professional development.
