Structured workplace observation with a form based on behavioural anchors.
Behavioural anchors
| Level | Behaviour at this level |
|---|---|
| N1 Guided | Learns to use a new system as instructed and reports failures and unclear points to the administrator. works under supervision and follows instruction · routine, one variable at a time · own task |
| N3 Proficient | Guides the team in adopting new software, adjusts working agreements and monitors whether the use is sustained. sets own approach and seeks input proactively · several variables, some ambiguity · own team or process |
| N5 Leading | Determines how the organisation introduces new technology, including agreements on responsible use of artificial intelligence, and measures adoption. sets the standard and the policy · strategic, under high uncertainty · organisation, value chain or profession |
N2 and N4 are deliberately not anchored. Raters place them between the anchors, following the O*NET convention.
