Note: Competency Dictionary Required: Workitect’s Competency Dictionary/Library is used throughout each workshop in instructional materials, e.g. coding booklets and interview guides, and in practice exercises. Consequently, the organization of each participant is required to have a license for the Workitect Competency Dictionary/Library.
The Details about our Workshop
Most competency models created today require the inclusion of technical, functional, or professional competencies. These competencies are so job-specific that there are no competency dictionaries or libraries from which to draw competency definitions. This program will teach you how to collect and analyze the data you need to create technical competencies to include in your job competency models. Topics include:
- Interviews to clarify the needs of persons who will use the competency models and the technical competencies.
- Technical Domain Interviews with subject matter experts to identify and define technical competencies within an organizational unit or population.
- Job Analysis Interviews to identify technical requirements of jobs.
- Competency Mapping Sessions to determine which technical competencies are needed at different levels in specific jobs.
- Planning and implementing a technical competency modeling project.
View The Agenda
Improve each person’s performance in terms of their position-specific competencies, and the organization’s overall performance against those competencies, through feedback, coaching and training.
