Linking Competency Management to Business Goals

Overview

Are competencies another management ‘fad’ or do they have an essential role to play? In the c20 years since competencies came to prominence, what measurable improvements have there been in corporate performance?

When properly defined and managed, competencies have an essential role to play in developing talent and achieving corporate goals and strategies. High-level, strategic competencies aid and inform senior and executive managers by recognising those characteristics of the business that are less easy to define.

Competencies, even at a strategic/corporate level, largely focus on the skills, traits, behaviours and capabilities required by the human resource element to deliver the business strategy.

In addition, however, competencies at this level have a specific role to play in defining and articulating the skills and behaviours required at the very top of the organisation.
