Competency Based Development
• Competencies are a set of skills and behaviors that describe excellent performance in a particular work context.
• Competencies provide the roadmap for the range of behaviors that produce excellent performance.
• Research tells us which competencies are critical for success as individual contributors, mid level managers, and senior/executive level managers.
• Research, combined with the knowledge of a person’s skills level, can provide the groundwork for current and future success.
• A Competency-Based Development Plan is a written document specifying how to leverage skills and how to grow skills.
