Competency Frameworks

What are Competency Frameworks?

Competencies are the behavioural indicators of the motives, values and traits that successful individuals show in a given role.
They provide a framework for assessing and developing deep-seated personal skills by going beyond academic qualifications, technical skills and experience.
But they are not fixed and immovable. People can develop them.
Competency frameworks consist of 6 – 8 management competencies against which an individual or a set of individuals at a particular level may be assessed.

We can help you to…

Distinguish between high-performing staff and those who perform the technical components of a role;
Focus employees towards organisational goals and avoid the costs of under-performance;
Improve performance management with a platform for performance measurement; and
Save time and money by avoiding unnecessary repeats of the recruitment process.

The process

We review existing competencies and associated programme management information.
We then formulate and develop a competency framework (bespoke or built on existing), through: competency-based interviews with high performers and discussions with key individuals; workshops; and established frameworks.
Following this we produce draft descriptions for the framework, after consultations, then finalise the framework during a one-day follow-up workshop.
