COMPETENCY MAPPING 

  • Competency Mapping is a process of identify key competencies for an organization and/or a job and incorporating those competencies throughout the various processes (i.e. job evaluation, training, recruitment) of the organization. To ensure we are both on the same page, we would define a competency as a behavior (i.e. communication, leadership) rather than a skill or ability. 

  • In a study conducted by Mc Kensey in 340 organizations worldwide on “Why Strategy Fails”, only 17 percent of strategic failures were due to bad strategy and 8 percent due to other reasons such as ‘September 11, War natural calamity, etc. the remaining 75 percent were due to lack of competency of the people who implemented the strategy; precisely 40 percent due to lack of knowledge and skills and the other 35 percent due to lack of right attitude, i.e. willingness to change, managing feeling and emotions, etc.
  • People who excel at their jobs demonstrate behavior that distinguish them from their  peers. Directing these behaviors are “Competencies” which we define as underlying personal characteristics that differentiate outstanding performance from average performance in a given job, role, organization or culture.
