The Strategic Training Objective Creation Process: This is where the magic happens!
You take a “lowly” task and elevate it in status to a Strategic Training Objective
How do I do this? What exactly is happening in this process of task to STO?
- Using the appropriate template from this module, “simply” begin to describe the work.
- THINK, but don’t overthink. If you experience “overwhelm” you’re overthinking.
- The “biggest win” here is documenting the work, no matter how rudimentary to start. Perfection at this stage is not the goal – “Getting it out of your experts’ head” is the goal.
- Use the below ideas and to guide you, motivate you and inspire you…
- The work is scrutinized to ensure it is part of the vision – if not, it’s deleted.
- You ask questions about the work – “what are we doing, why are we doing…”
- The work is described
- The work is brought into the light – it is focused on
- The work is documented – it is no longer just verbal
- The work is elevated in importance – it gets it’s own STO name
- The work is named: you create a shared language, a training vocabulary
- The work is becoming a system – it can be replicated
- The work can be delegated to someone else
- You are getting free of this responsibility – a chunk of the work that you once did, is now successfully transferred to another
- You can do your higher calling work
- You can work ON the business
- The work is thought about – THINK
- The work is broken into segments/modules – Training chunks with a beginning and an end
- The work takes on accountability – it can be assigned and initialed, you can create quizzes and tests for competency and understanding
- The work becomes more efficient, you eliminate unneeded steps
- The work is integrated into all other company systems and divisions
- The work becomes effective – it is part of the vision
