Job/Task Analysis
PACE Study (Position Analysis & Competency Evaluation)
WHAT IS PACE?
PACE is a DACUM-style (Developing A CurriculUM) job-task & skill
analysis. The PACE process systematically analyzes an occupation, position
or functional area. Under the guidance of a trained facilitator, a panel
of your job experts performs this analysis during a 2-3 day workshop.
The PACE Study provides an excellent source of information for
analyzing work requirements within a job or trade. Many companies use it
as their preferred method for training development, work re-design
efforts, employee selection and setting skill standards. This fast and
cost effective method establishes the foundation to initiate
organizational improvements or changes. Be a PACEsetter!

Keep pace with emerging technology, changing workforce designs and employee
selection & training needs—PACE is your first step!
|
Key elements of the PACE process are:
- Expert workers are the best source of information to describe and
define their jobs.
- Any job can be effectively analyzed in terms of the tasks performed
on a daily, weekly, monthly or yearly basis.
- All job tasks imply the direct application of skills, knowledge and
behaviors used by successful performers.
The result is a Duty & Task Chart, which describes the job in terms
of the specific tasks that competent workers must perform. Tasks are
analyzed for frequency, impact of error, criticality and difficulty. Once
the job is defined, related skills, knowledge, work behaviors and
conditions of the job are identified. The two characteristics that
distinguish this process from other methods of job-task analysis are:
- Expert workers analyze their own job.
- Results are produced in a graphic and easy to use format.

WHY CONDUCT A PACE
Whenever starting a new program or project, decisions must be grounded
to a known point of reference from a legal and best practice perspective.
PACE provides you with that initial benchmark. It is the "hub"
of the wheel by which all decisions must evolve from resulting in
defensible and focused actions.
