Setting the bar definition
Setting the bar means that a decision must be made as to the complexity of the material that will be developed. The complexity must be commensurate with the role of the person who will undergo the learning effort. Material should be developed based on two important criteria: 1) the target attendee’s position within the organization, and 2) knowledge of the security skills required for that position. The complexity of the material must be determined before development begins. Setting the bar applies to all three types of learning – awareness, training, and education.
