Based on an Exchange on LinkedIn Just the Other Day
The Secret Sauces that I’ve found, going back to the late 1970s and early 1980s, include:
- being focused on terminal performance (outputs, tasks and measures for both) and
- using a Facilitated Group Process (FGP) for Analysis, Design and Development
- with Master Performers and perhaps Other SMEs, Supervisors, and sometimes Novice Performers.
Novice Performers – who would really be ideal for determining what’s too “easy peasy/mickey mouse” or “just difficult enough” as a starting point for ramping up to authentic complexity in Application Exercises – and what a progression would look like/include going to the next levels of:
- “more difficult”
- “darn difficult”
- and ultimately “From Hades”
Here’s a Blog Post from last year on ramping up to complex performance capability development – here.
Here are two article PDFs from 1984 that describe the FGP for Analysis and Design:

When you do Analysis & Design & Development with Master Performers – they’ll keep you real – and Novice Performers will keep you more reasonable.
There are many more free resources – and links to books for sale – on my site regarding the FGP and analysis. The Free Resources include audio podcasts and videos, and article PDFs and presentation PowerPoint Show.
Check out the Resource Tab – but be careful about falling into the proverbial rabbit hole. :)
