Initially I was trained with these:

Case study:
After landing at a complex unknown airfield, imagine a diversion into LVP conditions:
>> vacate and report "RWY vacated" to ATC
- PM extinguishes the lights and pulls the taxi/parking chart
- PF slows down to near stop not to hit anything
>> TWR instructs to contact GND frequency
- PM works the radio and looks outside to gain positional awareness
- PF pulls his charts into view
>> GND provides taxi instuctions
- PM points out the directions to PF
- PF identifies the signage and is ready to taxi
>>PF shuts the ground-spoilers
- PM goes head-down for his action flows.

The bolded items are steps of the original procedure. A neat, structured workflow.

How is this (recent) procedure supposed to work?
Euh... you are in lvp and you even consider going head down is an appropriate thing?! The procedure can be done at the gate if necessary. Focus on what is important: getting safely in LVP to your parking position.
