“My company just spent the last 8 months and a good amount of money developing a competency

framework and now it’s just a binder collecting dust on my shelf.”

Competency models are a foundational element to any world-class talent management strategy. While

many organizations understand the benefits of implementing competency systems, two common pitfalls

are the inability to develop them with a valid process and implement them in a concrete and effective

manner.

In order to avoid statements like the one above, it is critical to create valid competency models to

identify behaviors that lead to success and integrate them into most, if not all, supporting talent

management processes (i.e. selection, coaching and development, performance management, etc.). This

can ensure optimal system alignment and drive superior business strategies, results, and overall people

development.

Learning Objectives:

- Understand competency model fundamentals, including how competency models can help establish

clear employee expectations and “raise the bar” of performance for today and the future

- Learn about an efficient, innovative study process used to develop valid competency models,

correlated to high performance, that increase organizational ownership, while significantly reducing

disruption and risk

- Understand how to apply competency models through practical competency-based tools and

systems to drive greater employee engagement, productivity, and results
