Competency Frameworks

Competence is about having the knowledge, skills and behaviours needed to get the job done in the right way.  It may seem straight forward but we believe it is. The difficulty comes when you try and describe specifically the knowledge, skills and behaviours people need to do their job.

We know that most competency frameworks usually end up having a core set of competencies that you can't do without and not surprisingly these are similar from organisation to organisation. The way they are written is often what reflects the culture and personality of the business. We don't believe in uniqueness just for the sake of it.

We always aim to provide the simplest solution to all our projects and where possible we will use what already exists somewhere else saving you time and money. We will then focus our efforts on the bit that needs to be individual and unique, thereby maximising your end result. We can also integrate any competency framework into your recruitment, development and talent management processes.

The benefits of using our competency frameworks support

• We will provide you with a framework that not only suits where you are today but is also supporting your future needs.
• Your new framework can be incorporated into your other people management processes such as succession planning, training and development and recruitment.
• Competency frameworks provide an opportunity for people to develop into other areas of the organisation.
• Your model of competencies can be consistent across the whole organisation or tailored for different functions or role groups.
• Competencies can be supported by other tools such as 360 degree feedback and psychometrics, adding weight and value to the overall framework.
