Competency Modeling

Competencies are the learned (skills and knowledge) and inherent (values, motivation, etc.) traits that a person brings to his/her work. Our goal with the competency modeling project is to establish a core set of competencies that can be used to help us assess and manage performance, and monitor our talents as individuals and as an organization.

Establishing a standard competency model in any organization can bring a number of benefits and uses, including:

• Individual Development
• Organizational Talent Assessment
• Organizational Performance Assessment
• Role Clarification
• Individual Performance Planning and Review
• Recruitment
• Training
• Market Comparisons

An assessment of the current competency approach in the General Church and Academy will begin in Fall 2008.
