Performance Support Is Not a Panacea

If you conduct Analysis and Design with Master Performers – in a Facilitated Group Process as I have since before becoming a consultant in 1982 – they’ll steer you to appropriate means – to deploy Formal Means – to the ends of Performance Competence.

Performance Competence – is the ability to Perform Tasks to Produce Outputs to Stakeholder Requirements.

I’m All For Performance Support

When it makes sense for the Performance and Performance Context.

Otherwise – forgetaboutit.

The Master Performers on your Analysis and Design Teams will disabuse you of such foolishness. And that’s a good thing.

They have empathy for the learners/Performers at the nuanced level.
