Onboarding curriculum map

The decision it supports

Use the onboarding curriculum map to compare unlike items without forcing them into one undifferentiated ranking. The working view makes role, stage, and job visible so discussion can move from general opinion to a specific action or decision.

When to map the portfolio

Use the onboarding curriculum map when a list in enablement and learning contains materially different cases that should not receive the same response. The matrix is useful only when the anchors for role, stage, and job can be supported with evidence.

How the matrix works

The onboarding curriculum map is a two-dimensional comparison that gives different positions different management responses. Its core working elements are role, stage, job, and module. Those elements belong together because each changes how the others should be interpreted or acted on.

Axes and responses

Role

Assign one accountable owner and distinguish final accountability from contributors, reviewers, and people who must be informed. Within the onboarding curriculum map, connect this entry to stage so the relationship can be reviewed rather than inferred.

Stage

Use a small controlled set of states, define the entry and exit condition for each, and record the date of the latest change. Within the onboarding curriculum map, connect this entry to job so the relationship can be reviewed rather than inferred.

Job

Capture job only at the level needed to answer: Which learning experiences support each role and stage of onboarding? Use observable evidence, name any unresolved judgment, and state what action or choice this entry can change. Within the onboarding curriculum map, connect this entry to module so the relationship can be reviewed rather than inferred.

Module

Capture module only at the level needed to answer: Which learning experiences support each role and stage of onboarding? Use observable evidence, name any unresolved judgment, and state what action or choice this entry can change. Within the onboarding curriculum map, connect this entry to modality so the relationship can be reviewed rather than inferred.

Modality

Capture modality only at the level needed to answer: Which learning experiences support each role and stage of onboarding? Use observable evidence, name any unresolved judgment, and state what action or choice this entry can change. Within the onboarding curriculum map, connect this entry to owner so the relationship can be reviewed rather than inferred.

Owner

Assign one accountable owner and distinguish final accountability from contributors, reviewers, and people who must be informed. Within the onboarding curriculum map, connect this entry to prerequisite so the relationship can be reviewed rather than inferred.

Prerequisite

Capture prerequisite only at the level needed to answer: Which learning experiences support each role and stage of onboarding? Use observable evidence, name any unresolved judgment, and state what action or choice this entry can change. Within the onboarding curriculum map, connect this entry to assessment so the relationship can be reviewed rather than inferred.

Assessment

Capture assessment only at the level needed to answer: Which learning experiences support each role and stage of onboarding? Use observable evidence, name any unresolved judgment, and state what action or choice this entry can change. Within the onboarding curriculum map, connect this entry to completion target so the relationship can be reviewed rather than inferred.

Completion target

Define the measure, population, period, source, owner, calculation, baseline, target or reference range, and counterweight. Within the onboarding curriculum map, connect this entry to assessment so the relationship can be reviewed rather than inferred.
