Competency Modeling
A competency model is more than a backbone of a talent management system. It is also one of the most powerful change agents an organization can have. It structures the process from selection to training to succession planning, and offers a basis for quantifiable and comparable performance review. Most importantly, a well-defined competency model orchestrates resource allocation to the highest impact learning and development aspects, ensuring all efforts are diverted towards actualizing your organizational vision.
A competency model defines the key success criteria within an organization. For instance, management competency generally includes business acumen and emotional agility. There are also function or industry-specific competency, such as artistic creativity, and organization-specific competency, such as the ability to fulfill corporate social responsibility. Competency modeling involves mapping out all these qualities for success, and then devising strategies that enhance these qualities among your people. By aligning HR strategies with a competency model, your people will be selected and developed in a synchronized direction towards business success.
