The Right Person For The Role – Using the Job Analysis Framework

Define a role from the work it must accomplish—not from instinct or from the person who currently holds it. Leave with a defensible role definition that strengthens hiring, performance management and your credibility as a people leader.

Put the Right Work in the Right Role is a one-week applied micro-course on job analysis and competency frameworks. It teaches one practical capability: defining a real role by its work so that recruitment and performance decisions rest on evidence rather than instinct. Participants carry one real role through a repeatable method—separating the role from the person, analysing its purpose, responsibilities and outputs, deriving the capabilities it requires, and naming the behaviour that distinguishes strong performance. The result is a defensible one-page role definition that can support fairer hiring and more credible performance decisions.
