Developing competency frameworks
Defining excellence
What makes a successful manager? What skills, knowledge and
attitudes are needed by individuals if your organisation
is to perform consistently at the highest level?
More and
more organisations across the not-for-profit sector are developing competency frameworks
– codifying standards of excellence for each level of
manager.
At =mc we’ve worked with a wide range of not-for-profit
organisations from the International HIV/AIDS Alliance, RNLI and
Amnesty International to Ashford Council, developing bespoke
competency frameworks.
Developing excellence
A competency framework is a wonderful tool, but how do you
then assess how ‘competent’ your managers are?
There are several options: you can ask people to assess themselves;
you can ask people to undergo 360° assessment; or you
can use a development centre.
While self and 360° assessments are an inexpensive option,
they are by their nature subjective. A development centre
– through a series of exercises based around your competency
framework – provides a detailed, objective assessment
of each individual's strengths and areas for development.
The resulting individual and organisational development plans
are then absolutely tailored to meet current and emerging
needs. No more guesswork, no more ‘wasted’ training
budget.
