1
00:00:01,230 --> 00:00:02,981
If you’re creating a development plan

2
00:00:02,981 --> 00:00:04,931
built around on-the-job experience,

3
00:00:04,937 --> 00:00:06,767
you can make it a better plan and

4
00:00:06,767 --> 00:00:08,387
avoid some common pitfalls

5
00:00:08,387 --> 00:00:10,716
by using our Experience Model.

6
00:00:10,716 --> 00:00:13,467
The idea is a simple, but powerful one.

7
00:00:13,467 --> 00:00:16,067
You can think about any work experience

8
00:00:16,067 --> 00:00:19,827
using two fundamental dimensions:

9
00:00:19,827 --> 00:00:22,937
Intensity and Stretch.

10
00:00:22,937 --> 00:00:24,697
Intensity describes the extent to which

11
00:00:24,697 --> 00:00:26,887
a situation requires you to face

12
00:00:26,887 --> 00:00:28,687
more performance demands than

13
00:00:28,687 --> 00:00:30,857
you’ve faced before.

14
00:00:30,857 --> 00:00:34,137
Intensity comes from a number of sources:

15
00:00:37,967 --> 00:00:39,807
When these components of Intensity are

16
00:00:39,807 --> 00:00:41,308
at high levels, they become

17
00:00:41,308 --> 00:00:43,638
Learning Drivers and present you

18
00:00:43,638 --> 00:00:45,058
with both challenges

19
00:00:45,058 --> 00:00:49,278
and opportunities to learn.

20
00:00:49,287 --> 00:00:51,398
Stretch describes the extent to which

21
00:00:51,398 --> 00:00:53,198
a situation requires you to face

22
00:00:53,198 --> 00:00:55,248
different performance demands than

23
00:00:55,248 --> 00:00:57,777
you’ve faced before...to be successful

24
00:00:57,777 --> 00:01:00,118
you need to learn new and different things,

25
00:01:00,118 --> 00:01:03,290
often in unfamiliar areas.

26
00:01:03,290 --> 00:01:06,490
Stretch comes from a number of sources.

27
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:12,510
When these components of Stretch

28
00:01:12,510 --> 00:01:14,490
are at high levels, they also become

29
00:01:14,490 --> 00:01:16,189
Learning Drivers and present you

30
00:01:16,189 --> 00:01:17,549
with both challenges

31
00:01:17,549 --> 00:01:19,059
and opportunities to learn.

32
00:01:21,389 --> 00:01:23,689
If you put these two dimensions together,

33
00:01:23,689 --> 00:01:25,289
you create the Experience Model

34
00:01:25,309 --> 00:01:29,099
which outlines four types of experience.

35
00:01:29,099 --> 00:01:31,129
As you start writing a development plan

36
00:01:31,129 --> 00:01:32,699
built around on-the-job experience,

37
00:01:32,699 --> 00:01:34,649
the model can help you to quickly see

38
00:01:34,649 --> 00:01:37,049
two critical things:

39
00:01:37,049 --> 00:01:38,779
First, based on the amount of

40
00:01:38,779 --> 00:01:41,429
Intensity and Stretch in an opportunity,

41
00:01:41,429 --> 00:01:43,899
the Better Development Plans tool will

42
00:01:43,899 --> 00:01:46,569
tell you the Type of experience it will be

43
00:01:46,569 --> 00:01:48,689
and what that means for you.

44
00:01:48,689 --> 00:01:50,789
This can help you decide if an experience

45
00:01:50,789 --> 00:01:52,669
is right for you. If you take on that

46
00:01:52,669 --> 00:01:54,469
assignment you’ve been thinking about,

47
00:01:54,469 --> 00:01:57,379
will it be a Mastering Experience for you?

48
00:01:57,379 --> 00:01:59,409
And, importantly, do you need

49
00:01:59,409 --> 00:02:02,159
more Mastering?

50
00:02:02,159 --> 00:02:03,309
Second, when you use the

51
00:02:03,309 --> 00:02:05,180
Better Development Plans tool to profile

52
00:02:05,180 --> 00:02:07,480
a development opportunity, you gain

53
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:09,300
insight into the most critical

54
00:02:09,300 --> 00:02:12,199
Learning Drivers, specifically for you.

55
00:02:12,199 --> 00:02:13,630
Where will the biggest sources

56
00:02:13,630 --> 00:02:15,230
of learning come from? Are there

57
00:02:15,230 --> 00:02:17,439
some risks you should also keep in mind

58
00:02:17,439 --> 00:02:20,449
before taking on this opportunity?

59
00:02:20,449 --> 00:02:22,890
In just a few minutes with the tool, you’ll have

60
00:02:22,890 --> 00:02:25,219
everything you need to create your own

61
00:02:25,219 --> 00:02:29,269
better development plans.
