Core Competencies define the skills and capabilities needed by people to succeed within an organization. Competencies are mapped to individual jobs and outline the expectations for different roles and positions. They provide a clear picture of the skills, knowledge and abilities required to perform work in the organization. Leadership ability, technical and interpersonal skills, emotional intelligence and business skills can be articulated in a competency model. Core competencies can be used to predict behavior and performance.

Core Competency Models are customized and can provide an organization with the capability to:

  • Track present skills and abilities
  • Identify future skills needed
  • Guide capability building to support future strategic direction
  • Set common expectations and guidelines for skills needed in different roles
  • Provide a road map for career planning
  • Provide a tool to facilitate role and career discussions
  • Identify the best resource for a given role
  • Provide a framework for measuring success
