Given the fact that as an organisation we do so much Human Capital work in the area of Competency Management, I thought it fit to share our experiences via this blog. While there is so much confusion between the varying meanings of the word Competency, there is at least one common theme: we want competent people i.e. people who perform either to superior standards or to the required standards. Performance is a key objective. As an author stated competencies are behaviours that include the knowledge, skills, and attributes required for successful performance.
Boyatzis emphasised the underlying characteristics of a person, such as traits, habits, motives, social roles, and self-image, as well as the environment around them, enable a person to deliver superior performance in a given job, role, or situation.
Let us over the next few weeks talk about how we can implement Competency Management in our organisations.
