Delivering on the competency promise whitepaper

Research shows that 96 percent of best-in-class organizations use a consistent competency model across their HR processes, compared with 39 percent of "laggards".

Competencies are ubiquitous; everybody has them and copious research demonstrates their usefulness. At the same time, there is widespread discrepancy around how to best define and structure them. Worse yet, in many organizations there is little knowledge about best practices for optimal utilization and consistent application.

Well-designed competencies spell out the specific behaviors needed for effectiveness in a given job or role. Most importantly, competencies are the first order of business. They provide a method for the organization to articulate its strategic and cultural priorities in an actionable way, by identifying the behaviors and skills needed to overcome key challenges and enable success
