    Knowing is not enough; we must apply.

    Willing is not enough we must do.

    Brief History:

    A Precursor of Competency

    Modeling

    1950s: John Flanagan

    1954 established Critical Incidents Technique as aprecursor to the key methodology used in rigorous

    competency studies

    significant behavioral events that distinguish betweenaverage and superior performers.

    It is Flanagans critical incidents technique that sixteen

    years later inspires David McClelland to discover and

    develop the term of competency

    Brief History:

    The Concept of Competency

    1970s: Testing for Competence Rather than Intelligence(McClelland, 1973)

    Competency: an underlying characteristic of a person

    which enables them to deliver superior performance in a

    given job, role, or situation. Not biased

    Can be learned and developed over time

    Implication: If competencies are made visible and training

    is accessible, individuals can understand and develop the

    required level of performance

    Brief History:

    Competency Modeling

    Matures

    1980s:

    Certain characteristics or abilities of the person

    enable him or her to demonstrate the appropriate

    specific actions. (Boyatzis,Richard E. The Competent

    Manager: A Model for Effective Performance. New York:Wiley, 1982, p. 12).

    the first empirically-based and fully-researched book on

    competency model developments

    specific behavior and clearly defined performance

    outcomes

    like Flanagan, stressed importance of systematic analysis

    in

    collecting and analyzing examples of the actual

    performance of individuals doing the work

    34 years after the first

    competency model, more than

    half of the Fortune 500companies are using competency

    modeling.

    COMPETENCY Vs. COMPETENCE

    Competency:

    A person- related concept that refers to the dimensions of

    behaviour lying behind competent performer.

    Competence:A work- related concept that refers to areas of work at which

    the person is competent

    Competencies:Often referred as the combination of the above two.

    DEFINITION

    First popularized by Boyatzis (1982) with Research result onclusters of competencies:

    A capacity

    that exists in a person

    that leads to behaviourthat meets the job demands

    within parameters of organizational environment,

    and that, in turn

    brings about desired results

    A competency is

    an underlying characteristic

    of

    a personwhich enables him/her

    to deliver

    superior performancein a given job, role or situation.

    How do competencies differ from

    skills and knowledge?

    Competencies only include behaviors thatdemonstrate excellent performance.

    Therefore, they do not include knowledge, but do

    include "applied" knowledge or the behavioral

    application of knowledge that produces success.

    In addition, competencies do include skills, but

    only the manifestation of skills that produce

    success.

    Finally, competencies are not work motives, but

    do include observable behaviors related to

    motives.

    WHY DO WE NEED COMPETENCIES WHEN WE

    ALREADY HAVE JOB DESCRIPOTIONS?

    In contrast to a job description, which typicallylists the tasks or functions and responsibilities for

    a particular role, a set of competencies (or

    competency profile) lists the abilities needed to

    conduct those tasks or functions.

    Too often job descriptions are not worded in a

    manner that enables an employee's performance

    to be effectively measured. Competencies on theother hand are described in terms such that they

    can be observed, measured and rated against

    criteria that are standardized and required to do

    the job effectively

    What is a competency model?

    A competency model is a set of success factors, oftencalled competencies that include the key behaviorsrequired for excellent performance in a particular role.Excellent performers on-the-job demonstrate thesebehaviors much more consistently than average orpoor performers. These characteristics generallyfollow the 80-20 rule in that they include the keybehaviors that primarily drive excellent performance.They are generally presented with a definition and keybehavioral indicators.

    In contrast, competencies do not include "baseline"skills and knowledge (i.e., commonly expectedperformance characteristics such as finishingassigned work, answering the telephone, writingfollow-up letters, etc.), job tasks, or unusual oridiosyncratic behaviors that may contribute to a singleindividual's success.

    How are the competencies identified

    for each job?

    The competencies are derived primarily from atask analysis. This involves identifying the critical

    task of the job together with the jobholder and the

    immediate superior.

    It is important that only the critical tasks areconsidered, as these are the ones that enable the

    jobholder to perform.

    The critical tasks are then recorded as

    competency requirements.

    How are the competencies

    47/77

    How are the competencies

    identified for each job?

    In addition, the Performance Criteria to which thejobholder must satisfy are described.

    The Performance Criteria are the standards to

    which the jobholder must demonstrate when

    carrying out the tasks.

    For e.g. a Welder when joining two metal sheets

    together must ensure that the workplace is safe

    for him to carry out the task. He must also ensure

    that the weld that he produces meets the qualitystandards and that he welds within the specified

    time frame

    How are the competencies

    The identified competencies, the Performance

    Criteria and the Required Competency Level

    are then

    validated by the Head of Departmentto ensure that it reflects

    the current competency requirement of the

    jobholder

    and

    standards

    set by the Company on the Performance Criteria.

    WHY USE COMPETENCIES? When done correctly, implementing competencies within your

    organization gives you the means to: Translate the organizations visionand goals into expected employee behavior

    Implement more effective and legally defensible recruitment, selectionand assessment methods

    Reduce hiring costs and absenteeism / turnover rates

    Identify areas for employee development that are directly linked to

    desired outcomes and organizational objectives Target training dollars in areas that are will realize the most return on

    investment

    Set more effective (and valid) criteria for developing and evaluatingperformance

    Identify gap between present skill sets and future requirements

    And if downsizing is required, ensure retention of the essentialcompetencies for the success of the organization.

    Furthermore, by communicating these competencies to employees,organizations empower employees to take charge of their careers,direct their own personal development, and continually self-evaluateand improve.

    How will Career Development Framework

    benefit the company in terms of training?

    Training and development will be more focused,as it will address specific gaps in competencies. It

    will no longer be based on qualitative

    justifications. Though in the initial period, training

    expenditure may increase, depending on thenumber of competency gaps, in the long term, the

    return on training expenditure may is justifiable

    when competencies gaps are addressed and

    employees perform to expectations.
