This site starts with providing you resources to define your unique business capabilities, and goes all the way to helping you state quite precisely, what knowledge and skills your people need to have!
The exclamation mark, because, in our experience, if one walks into a typical organisation, neither are people able to state their collective business capabilities, nor are they able to produce a list of knowledge and skills needed by their people to run the business. The ‘Functional Competence Models’ and ‘Knowledge-Skill Dictionaries’ that we provide enable businesses to set up people management practices that are revolutionary, by today’s standards (e.g., much more role-specific hiring, performance management, and learning management processes than what we see, in general). Also, those practices will be hard to imitate for other players in the industry.
As you can imagine, getting so much done requires some standardisation of approaches. The various posts you will find in this site tell you about these aspects, and the thought and logic underlying them.
An Overview of the Resources
You will find outlined here, the various types of Functional Capabilities typically found in organisations. And you will find a schema to categorise and describe the Knowledge and Skills needed by those working in a given function. You will also find some related background reading (such as this).
Working with these resources (and perhaps after some training), you will be able to design / define efficiently and rigorously, roles within each function in your organisation, defining also the knowledge and skills needed by incumbents. With these defined, you will be able to transform how you manage your people…
A note on the picture: It is our hat-tip to Archimedes. The intent behind transforming people management practices is not for achieving small improvements. The ambition, ultimately, is that organisations that follow the path take on more challenging, exciting goals, and deliver on them.
