Developing role transformation maps
A starting point for discussing scope, evidence and review with a professional body.
What it is
A transformation map displays roles and the relationships recorded between them for a discipline and jurisdiction. Its usefulness depends on the coverage and evidence of those records.
Professional bodies can contribute domain expertise, sources and reviewers.
Organisation leaders can examine how the reference relates to their work.
Practitioners can use the reference to frame questions for a manager, mentor or educator.
What a professional body can contribute
- Discipline expertise and a clear account of the work the profile should describe.
- Relevant sources, with permission to use the material where required.
- Participants who can review the proposed relationships and record their judgements.
- A plan for maintaining the profile as practice and source material change.
What needs to be agreed
- The intended audience, discipline, jurisdiction and profile scope.
- The supporting evidence, review process and responsibility for decisions.
- The development schedule, costs, attribution and publication arrangements.
- The permitted uses and any required outputs or integrations.
What RPF does NOT do
RPF carries the standards; it does not issue credentials, sign Open Badges, or hold learner records. Three-tier boundary: RPF defines the pathway / Assessor.io measures / your body issues. The metro map reads what your body produces; it never replaces what your body does.
