Training vs Performance Support • During Training, workers acquire knowledge.They • learn the knowledge, • store it in memory, • retrieve it later on the job • During Performance, workers apply knowledge. They • retrieve the knowledge, • apply it directly to the job at hand, • within the flow of the work

  4. Training Assumptions • The underlying assumptions of formal training are that workers will: • Learn all they need to know in their training courses • Store in memory all they have learned • Retrieve all they need to know at the Point of Performance • Continue to rely on the same knowledge over time

Precise instructions, guidance, and tools delivered to workers directly at the Point of Performance to make it easier for them to get their work done as effectively and efficiently as possible. This is done by facilitating workers’ path through the work maze, either by removing the walls and barriers or by assisting/guiding/coaching them through the path to their destination.
