Task Analysis – How to Analyze Work

Breaking Down Jobs to Build Up Learning

Effective learning design demands a detailed understanding of the work itself. Without proper task analysis, training often misses critical elements, overemphasizes the wrong aspects, or fails to address real performance needs.

This workshop equips you with practical methods to break down complex jobs into clear, manageable components. Through hands-on exercises and real-world examples, you’ll learn to identify the essential steps, decisions, and knowledge that drive successful performance.

Stop creating training based on assumptions about how work gets done. Start building solutions grounded in a precise understanding of the tasks, challenges, and standards that determine workplace success.

Your people will learn how to:

Expertly break down complex jobs into clear, manageable components, creating the perfect foundation for targeted learning design
Uncover the critical steps, decisions and actions that truly matter in workplace performance, eliminating time wasted on non-essential elements
Create precise task documentation that gives instructional designers exactly what they need to build effective solutions
Pinpoint the specific knowledge, skills and attitudes that drive successful performance, ensuring your training addresses all essential components
Define clear performance standards that set unambiguous targets for what “good” looks like in real-world execution
Identify the common errors and challenges that trip up even experienced performers, allowing you to build preventative measures into your solutions
Seamlessly translate task insights into powerful learning objectives that drive focused, relevant training design
