"We turned to Intrepid to conduct a comprehensive analysis of our training organization, and deliver targeted recommendations for integrating learning technologies into our enterprise training strategy. We were pleased with the results: they provided focused recommendations for improving the effectiveness of our training function through the judicious use of e-learning, as well as valuable information that helped us build a business case for an LMS and other key learning technologies. Throughout our work with Intrepid, they were always professional, thorough and efficient."

Consulting Services: Job Analysis

Job analyses are a critical part of an effective, targeted training curriculum. Unfortunately, conventional forms of job analysis—one-on-one interviewing, data collection sheets, surveys, observation, procedural analysis, and multi-day focus group sessions with subject matter experts—are expensive and time-consuming. Intrepid’s experts have developed a better way. Our Job Analysis at the Speed of Reality (JASR) methodology allows completion of a validated task list in just two to three hours per job position.

Intrepid’s streamlined JASR methodology serves as the basis for subsequent task analysis, competency modeling, and curriculum development services. The two- to three-hour JASR session results in a validated task list that can be used to generate multiple tools:

Learning Objectives
Behavioral Interview Guides
Performance Management Tools
Self-Assessment Tools
Organizational Matrices
Competency Models

These tools allow organizations to target learning interventions and create developmental roadmaps for each job position. In the area of competency modeling, the job analysis process often identifies similar competencies across multiple positions within an organization. This can greatly enhance training operational efficiencies: content can be created or bought once, customized and used for multiple audiences.
