W HAT IS THE FACILITATOR'S ROLE IN TTJA?

As the Facilitator, you have the pivotal role in the TTJA process. You

portion of the seminar and for facilitating the team members during the

TTJA workshop portion. The team members are the SMEs (job

incumbents and engineers) and supervisors who will use their technical

expertise to identify the tasks involved in the job. As you help the team

reach consensus on the tasks involved in the job, the Co-Facilitator will

print each task on a separate sheet of paper and post it on the wall.

Members of the facility training staff may be in attendance for the entire

3-day seminar in order to learn how to conduct TTJA. During the

training portion of the seminar, the training staff will be involved as

participants and should sit at the same tables as the team members.

During the workshop portion of the seminar, the training staff will

observe your conduct from the back of the room as you guide team

members through the TTJA steps. During TTJA Steps 4 and 6, they

will have an opportunity to help facilitate the identification of tasks and

selection of tasks for training (refer to Steps 4 and 6 in Segment 3). During

all of the TTJA steps, the observers [especially the person(s) who will be

developing the subsequent training program for this job] must pay close

attention to the proceedings and take notes of any training-related

discussions. These notes will be valuable during the design and

development of the training program. You must be careful to serve as a

role model for the training staff and make time available during lunches

or evenings to answer any questions they may have.

given a Coordinator Guide. You will need to work closely with the

Coordinator as you prepare for the TTJA seminar.

Many people can assume the role of Coordinator, but few have all the

necessary qualities to perform as the Facilitator. With input from

management, the Coordinator chose you as the Facilitator. The choice was

carefully made, based on the qualities required of a Facilitator.
