Competency Modeling

Competency modeling plays a pivotal role in both leadership development and talent management activities such as succession planning. Increasingly used to unify diverse human resources programs, a competency model identifies the skills, knowledge, behaviours and attributes that an organization requires in order be successful. In doing so, it provides a solid foundation on which to build leadership development and talent management programs.

Kwela can help you to develop or refine a competency model by working with you to:

  • Identify the competencies most critical to achieving your strategic goals.
  • Identify the gaps between current competencies and where you need to be to meet your goals.

With this kind of knowledge in place, we can then collaborate with you to develop the leadership and succession programs that will close these critical competency gaps.

A good competency model offers benefits across your entire organization including a common language amongst key stakeholders, more effective decision making, better integration between diverse programs, and clear criteria for measuring success.
