Keep it Simple
We thrive on what the industry wants, and what ensures an organization can scale in their journey towards becoming experts functionally, technically, domain-wise, behaviourally, and process-wise. As a simple example, and one way to look at a competency framework is to:
Define Business Verticals
Define Roles
Define Bands
Define Skills
Define Competencies
Define Proficiencies
Create Role-Competency Proficient Mapping Framework

A Competency Assessment
An assessment created on the basis of a competency framework, helps identify who does not meet the requirements for specific skills. In other words, you get to identify a skill gap. Just like the fact that there is always the existence of an inherent risk, it is highly probable that a learner has a skill gap, which must be captured sooner than later. Once identified, creating, or curating a course, and then moving into a personalized learning plan, helps them close their gap. In some scenarios, learning objectives could also be included to get to an outcome of a behaviour. And this is a different conversation altogether. Another aspect to keep in mind is that competencies must be something that can be observed, which essentially also means there must be a way to measure them and if put together the best outcome critical to the success of an individual or the organization they work in is if its coachable.
Questions Addressed
When competencies are correctly identified, mapped to other relevant measurable properties, the outcome seen caters to scenarios across the board. A few of them are addressed below:
- How to narrow down areas of development between high impact and low impact?
- How to achieve business results through an organizations most priced entity, its people?
- How to bring in a differentiation on ‘How’, ‘What’, ‘When’ and ‘Why’ of daily tasks?
- How to establish a career progression framework for the organization?
- How to communicate the language of performance to the people?
- How to create a career progression roadmap for the employee?
- How to establish guidelines and benchmarks for hiring, training, retraining, and awarding people?
- How to facilitate change management programs?
Conclusion
In short, a competency framework could be the difference maker in what makes your organization be a step away from being the best place to work on, on this planet.
