OCE.18:4.2 - Make current work, practice and receiving opportunities jointly possible

Recover the current assignments, available time, relevant performance expectations and the receiving opportunity. Identify who understands each work contribution and who can change its conditions. In a matrix, federation or move between employers, these relations may cross several organizations. No title supplies the missing authority.

Start with a competent arrangement already available. Retain adequate help, work access and evidence. If another contribution is needed, compare the complete alternatives over the period in which the receiving work matters. Include preparation, learner and provider time, participation, access, supervision, assessment, retained fallback, delays and displaced work. Developing another participant can add work while competent delivery continues. State the additional result sought rather than pretending that every learning arrangement saves time.

Where practice displaces current work, identify the actual contribution and recipient affected, preserve required checks, and obtain an accepted change from those able to decide it. Use LDR.2 when contributions must be negotiated; use an adequate ordinary allocation directly when it already answers the question. OCE.11 supplies coexistence of change and continuing work. Obtain an actual receiving trial, supervised task or other opportunity with its conditions; a possible vacancy or a friendly promise is not yet a supplied task.

If the current work owner cannot change an adverse condition, return the request to its actual owner. A mentor can demonstrate, diagnose and critique without being made the person’s manager. More managerial power does not supply missing instructional expertise. Use OCE.4 and OCE.6 to connect and establish the required organizational relations; use OCE.5 only when a continuing position is needed.
