Workitect\u2019s approach to career pathing combines an analysis of positions in terms of both the tasks and the competencies needed for effective performance. The combined approach is essential for each of the jobs in a career path, because sharp discontinuities sometimes exist between the competencies demanded in one job and those demanded in another in the same career path.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"\" style=\"--fontsize: 24; line-height: 1.5;\" data-fontsize=\"24\" data-lineheight=\"36px\">Job-Person Matches<\/h2>\n<p><a class=\"fusion-no-lightbox\" href=\"https:\/\/workitect.com\/products-and-licenses\/comprehensive-competency-development-guide\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-21165 size-full\" title=\"Competency Development Guide\" src=\"https:\/\/demo.wwwebdesignstudios.com\/client05\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/CDG-copy-300x200-1.gif\" alt=\"Competency Development Guide\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\"><\/a><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\" data-fusion-font=\"true\">Career pathing involves making series of job-person matches that enable the person to grow into greater levels of responsibility, thus assuring the organization of the talent it requires for maximum productivity. Optimal job-person matching is not a simple matter\u2014the attributes of both the job (duties and responsibilities\u2014tasks) and the person (knowledge, skills, traits\u2014competencies) must be taken into account. Our research shows that the more complex the job, the more difficult it is to identify the critical tasks and competencies related to success. To use an extreme example, assembly-line tasks may be well circumscribed, and the workers\u2019 necessary knowledge and skills defined briefly: the competencies that make the difference between satisfactory and unsatisfactory performance are limited and highly task-specific. By contrast, in professional and managerial jobs, the competencies that make the difference between minimal and outstanding performance tend to be much more generic than task-specific; because of this, the competencies are harder to identify than are those of manual laborers. Nevertheless, these competencies must be considered when making career pathing decisions involving professional and managerial.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"\" style=\"--fontsize: 24; line-height: 1.5;\" data-fontsize=\"24\" data-lineheight=\"36px\">Characteristics of Outstanding Performers<\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-size: 18px;\" data-fusion-font=\"true\">Most career pathing systems used by organizations consider only task-specific job requirements in making job-person matches. When such systems do consider generic personal characteristics beyond knowledge and skills, these characteristics are usually vaguely defined, difficult to assess, and not demonstrably related to outstanding performance. By contrast, Workitect\u2019s competency-based career path analysis avoids these problems. In addition to looking at the requirements for acceptable performance of the specific job tasks, it examines and documents the more general characteristics of outstanding performers\u2014characteristics that are not covered by the analysis of tasks. Moreover, Workitect examines different levels of jobs within an organization, in order to determine both the task and the competency requirements of target jobs and of jobs that feed new talent into the target jobs (\u201cfeeder jobs\u2019).<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 18px;\" data-fusion-font=\"true\">Understanding the task and competency requirements of various jobs helps clarify human resource planning. Although two jobs may have similar task requirements, there may be little overlap in the competencies needed for effective performance. The most commonly cited example of this phenomenon is the transition from salesperson to sales manager\u2014people in these two jobs share tasks, yet the sales-management position demands competencies that are very different from those required by the salesperson\u2019s job.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"fusion-no-lightbox\" href=\"https:\/\/workitect.com\/products-and-licenses\/comprehensive-competency-development-guide\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-20898\" title=\"Developing A Competency-based Career Pathing Process\" src=\"https:\/\/demo.wwwebdesignstudios.com\/client05\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Stream-300x217-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"217\"><\/a><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\" data-fusion-font=\"true\">In a competency-based career pathing system, the job-task analysis is only part of the picture. It thus contrasts with traditional approaches to career pathing, in which task analysis makes up the entire picture. Naturally, it is important to determine how familiar an individual is with the tasks of a target position. Since even if the person has all the characteristics necessary to be a superior performer, it may take him or her considerable time to master particular tasks. But from an organization systems perspective, any approach based exclusively on task requirements omits a critical part of job performance\u2014characteristics of the individual who performs the job in an outstanding manner. Indeed, it is this factor that is the most powerful predictor of a person\u2019s performance in high-level jobs. <\/span><em><a href=\"https:\/\/workitect.com\/PDF\/succession-planning.pdf\" style=\"font-size: 18px;\" data-fusion-font=\"true\">Download this report<\/a><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\" data-fusion-font=\"true\"> about the entire process of competency-based succession planning<\/span>. <\/em><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"\" style=\"--fontsize: 24;
