Competency Modelling, Framework Design & Implementation

Competency frameworks are a useful tool for distilling the key elements of culture which contribute to an organisation's success. Once mapped, the competency framework forms the basis of an integrated approach to recruitment, performance management and career development by providing a means of aligning and tracking the accomplishment of both personal and business development needs.

Competencies include the technical knowledge and skills people require to do specific tasks as well as what are often termed "soft skills" which incorporate the emotional competencies or "EQ" like leadership, interpersonal communication, and team working. Although there are broad "core competencies" considered to be important across all businesses, these generally require tailoring to take into account each organisation's current and future needs based on internal factors such as organisational culture as well as external pressures such as the market environment, political climate and economy.

As well as incorporating competency frameworks into our coaching programmes, we assist organisations in developing their own competency frameworks for appraisal, performance management & development purposes.

Our involvement may extend from the assessment and refinement of existing in-house competency frameworks through to bespoke design and implementation. We work with you to identify technical and role specific competencies and advise on the incorporation of these into job specifications, training programmes and appraisal and review procedures.
