PACT Practitioner Role Overview

The PACT CAD Designer is responsible for preparing and conducting/facilitating the Group Process for the Design Team Meeting in a Curriculum Architecture Design – CAD effort and then to process all of the analysis data in a 7-Step Design process for creating a modular T&D/L&D Path, and creating “Specifications” for all gaps at two levels: Events and Modules.

The PACT CAD Designer either produces the CAD Design Document or assists the Project Planner/Manager in producing it.

List of Task Responsibilities to Master

The PACT CAD Designer is responsible for the following tasks:

Reviewing the Analysis data
Preparing for the CAD Design Team Meeting
Conducting the CAD Design Team Meeting
Documenting the CAD Design Team Meeting in a CAD Design Document
Contributing to the development of the Project Steering Team Gate Review Meeting
Co-Presenting at the Project Steering Team Gate Review Meeting
Updating the CAD Design Document as needed

T&D Path or Map

This visual Development Path or Development Map provides a suggested sequence of modularized T&D Events – a sequence suggested by the Master Performers on the Curriculum Architecture Design – CAD – Design Team – and includes both OnBoarding & Immediate Survival Skills – and OnGoing development – providing Most 10 Before Most 20 Before Most 70 in a Flipped approach to 70-20-10.

PCD - Ex Path

This provides “visual” guidance regarding the available Performance Support and Instructional & Informational Content of the Curriculum Architecture Design’s Path – for “downselecting and re-sequencing” as needed to “Personalize” the Training to the specifics of the the job assignment and the incoming knowledge/skills from education and experience – using the next output.

The Path/Map in its initial version portrays what is needed – and both what exists already as well as what gaps exist – content-wise – for prioritization and resourcing by the Project Steering Team. What is needed but unavailable is left to Un-Structured OJT (otherwise known as Informal Learning). And some potential Content will be deliberately left as Un-Structured OJT.

T&D Individual Planning Guide

This tool is used by the Performer and her manager, team lead, peer or assigned coach/mentor – to plan and schedule T&D consistent with the Job Assignment specifics.

PCD - Ex IPG

This Planning tool is used for “downselecting and re-sequencing” the modular Events on the Development Path/Map – as needed – to “Personalize” the Training to the specifics of the the job assignment and the incoming knowledge/skills from education and experience.

One size does not fit all.

T&D Event Spec

This documents/specifies the Gap Content of the preliminary Path – as modular T&D Events. Both “Gap & Existing Modules” are listed – showing how some Existing T&D might be ReUsed going forward.

PCD - Ex Event Spec

T&D Module Spec

This documents/specifies the Gap Content of the preliminary Path’s T&D Events – at the Module level. Gap Modules – later become Lessons in MCD/IAD efforts – and are roughly designed at this point for prioritization and resourcing – and not development.

Both “Gap & Existing Content” are listed – again, showing how some Existing T&D might be ReUsed going forward.

PCD - Ex Mod Spec

The purpose of a Curriculum Architecture Design – CAD effort is to identify the performance-based needs of the Target Audience(s) and then both rationalize Existing Content as well as specify Gap Content for prioritization and resourcing – as the potential ROI warrants – by a Project Steering Team.
