But the real work is being done down here! Developing managers in post Soviet Kazakhstan

The original Project report has been written to serve a number of aims and audiences. Obviously, its immediate aim was to serve as a record of the Project itself and through the evaluation of its successes and learning help further projects work in Central Asia particularly and overseas generally. Linked to this, a further aim was to develop discussion and debate amongst colleagues in the communities of practice of both management development and work-based learning. Finally, in the wider sense, it will hold some value to other such groups with an historical interest in the transition
of Post Soviet states. (Co mm)
This commentary together with the processes of presentation, and Project report and the appendices that include papers and reports from the Project itself form the total submission for the final stage of the award of Doctor of Professional Studies. This
paper specifically looks to augment crucial areas of understanding and development not fully developed in the Project report itself particularly in relation to knowledge
management and work-based learning. In addition this paper has also been structured to satisfy explicitly all the descriptors for level 5 particularly' by the inclusion of a
small section on personal development. An Appendix has been added to support this suggesting, by chapter, where examples of descriptor practice exist in the original
report. (Appendix One)
