Much of what is invested in as performance interventions has little impact. Similarly, if learners can’t perform under all the necessary situations, we can’t realize the full benefit. Similarly, there are guidelines for designing performance support solutions. To put it another way, we perform as we practice.

A performance consulting perspective is useful here. In such an approach, you find out what the core difference is between the performance currently being delivered, and what is necessary and/or desirable. From there, the ideal next step is to identify the root cause of the performance gap.

This is what is technically termed performance support, a.k.a Trying to put it into my head as learning first, then having me perform, wouldn’t make sense. Doing performance support is also worth doing right. Also, the design of the solution is very different from that of the performance aid. Yet, that’s OK!

The performance objectives established should clearly be represented in the choices of action the learner chooses from. The alternatives to the right answer ideally are the ways performers typically go wrong. We should also match the scenario structure to the performance needed. This serves two purposes.
