How to use your

Job Design template

Now your team is ready to start using your

Job Design Matrix template

Step 1) Define Jobs

Complete the Jobs Design Matrix

(the JobDesign sheet in your JobDesign.xlsx workbook)

Reminder: Click any row or column header in any Systems2win template to get pop-up help.

Create a Skills & Training Matrix for each job

(using your Training Matrix template: TrainingMatrix.xlsx)

Create a Job Resources Matrix for each job

(the JobResources sheet in your JobDesign.xlsx workbook)

Consider all Social Design Objectives

See an idea starter list of Social Design Objectives

Re-draw organizational boundaries to accomplish Social Design Objectives

Perhaps using your Organization Chart template

When you think you are done,

go back again and reduce the number of job titles/roles to a few empowered positions.

When you are sure you are done, make separate Job Evaluation Matrices for each job

Either use the special copy sheet utility to make multiple copies of the Resources Matrix sheet,

or make multiple copies of your Skills & Training Matrix.

Step 2) Define Job Transitions and Career Paths

Use the Job Transitions Assessment sheet

(the Transitions sheet in your JobDesign.xlsx workbook)

to define Job Transitions & Career Paths

After defining weighted difficulties of alternate career paths, summarize suggested career paths in ways that can be easily and clearly communicated to the people whose jobs & careers are affected.

Step 3) Define Training & Education Plans

Use your Skills & Training Matrix as a Training Plan to define training & education plans.

Optionally use some of your other Systems2win Training Design templates as you prepare all user training materials and Standard Operating Procedures

Optional Step 4) Define Transitional Organizational Structures

If the defined process changes are too much to bite off with one big change, then perhaps define interim organizational structures.

(Perhaps using Organization Charts, or just describing transitional organizational structures)

Step 5) Analyze Individual Assessments

Use the Individual Assessments sheet

(the Indiv sheet in your JobDesign.xlsx workbook)

to analyze assessments for where each individual might best fit within the newly created available jobs.

Tip: You might copy portions from your Skills & Training Matrix as a starting point

Step 6) Prepare Incentives

Use the Incentives sheet

(the Incentives sheet in your JobDesign.xlsx workbook)

to come up with ideas and plans for how to:

1. Incentivize each new position to be as attractive as possible
2. Design measures of success for each transition

Step 7) Prepare Plans for Change Management

Use your Change Management template

(ChangeManagement.xlsx)

to anticipate and manage foreseeable possible resistance to change.
