It is a continual process that affects both the individual and the hospitality organization. For the individual in the hospitality industry it involves career planning and career outcomes and encompasses such issues as job change, mobility, and stages of a career. Whilst for the hospitality organization it is concerned with and influences human resource planning. The demise of the traditional hospitality organizational career, with its vertical progression, has affected an individual’s career development with the trend now being to develop core skills, increase marketability, and develop employability. A gradual shift has been seen from the traditional skill base (such as food and beverage) to more managerial and business skills together with the need for international experience and language skills.

This is achieved through the use of questioning, analysis, and problem-solving techniques. As the individuals using this process are often working out with their normal area there is the added advantage of learning about other processes or areas of the business whilst developing interpersonal skills and, of course, improving organizational effectiveness. For example, a member of the front office team in a hotel may work in an action group with individuals from the sales and reservations teams to consider how to improve communication between the departments. The front office team member will learn about the other departments and assist in the creation of a solution for more effective communication; thus learning has taken place.
