Skills for Routines Breakout Sessions
Breakout session 1: Preparing for a routine: Self-assessment and calibration

Our objectives for this session
▪Understand tools and reasons for conducting a self-assessment and calibration
▪Practice conducting a self-assessment and calibration

As you know, any good routine should include a focus on performance and an opportunity to come to a shared view of performance
Strong execution
■ Buy-in to purpose and preparedness?■ Clear roles and responsibilities?■ Participants come prepared?■ High-quality materials?■ Well facilitated?■ Clear next steps?
Regularity■ Happens regularly enough?■ Right people present?
Focus on performance■ Clear area of focus?■ Shared view of performance? ■ Focus on most important
aspects?
Action on performance
■ Helps identify most critical barriers?■ Tough questions asked?■ Creative problem-solving?■ Encourages learning?

To arrive at that shared view of progress, we recommend any routine be driven by some type of self-assessment
Sample self-assessment results

The Assessment Framework is a tool to help participants reflect on the likelihood of successful implementation
Assessment Framework:

Highly problematic – requires urgent and decisive actionProblematic – requires substantial attention, some aspects need urgent attention
Mixed – aspect(s) require substantial attention, some goodGood – requires refinement and systematic implementation

Many versions of the Assessment Framework exist; users generally should adapt to fit their context
Examples of assessment framework rubrics

A calibration discussion should occur after the accountable leads do their self-assessment to ensure that the ratings are accurate and balanced relative to one another
Purpose of calibration discussion:
▪Ensure ratings are accurate
▪Tease out relative strengths and challenges
▪Push on the rationale, get more detail
▪Surface some of the bigger challenges that should be the focus of the stocktake

A successful calibration depends on asking the right questions
Why did you decide on this rating? What evidence do you have?
How do you know?
What would it take to make this [one rating higher]? These two strategies are rated
the same, but the evidence seems different – should they
both be [rating]? Why?
We have several strategies that fall into one rating or several categories within a
strategy that are all rated the same – should any be rated higher or lower to show relative strength or challenge?
What is keeping it from being [one rating lower]?
