What is Strategic Competence Management?
Identification, assessment, development and implementation of capabilities on organisational and individual level. Results of a recent questionnaire (carried out in 100 organisations by The International Competence Conference) on the objectives to introduce Competence Management show that:
- aligning the employees and the business strategy
- managing the performance efficaciously
- focussing the investments of training
- facilitating career development
- developing culture in the organisation
- structuring the remuneration in a better way
- enhancing the flexibility of resources
- defining the capabilities and core strengths of the organisation
... are the major reasons for developing a Strategic Competence Management approach.
How does Stanwick Management Consultants help me and my organisation to implement Strategic Competence Management?
More and more, hierarchical relations are replaced by networks of ‘empowered’ work groups. Information is available at everyone’s fingertips rather than only to those at the strategic apex of the organisation. Careers increasingly become a sequence of different assignments rather than a sequence of different job titles. In this context employees are beginning to work in cluster organisations where people are not tied to a management level by traditional hierarchical lines. These clusters have a great amount of freedom in which to accomplish a mission given to them. The mission of these empowered clusters is measured on the accomplishment of the mission only. To make this kind of organisation successful four conditions are required:
- Mission and core competencies of the organisation: Clarity about the mission of the entire organisation and the necessary core competencies to be successful in this mission
- Organisational Architecture: Organisational structure, Competency model & clusters, Leadership & management style and competencies, Values & norms.
- Individual competencies: The organisation of the future will be built around people. If we are using people as the building blocks of the organisation, then what they bring to the job, in other words their competencies, become crucial.
- Culture: Cluster organisations will depend for their success on the willingness of people to be accountable for the larger tasks that are delegated to their cluster. This requires a management culture in which initiatives and calculated risks taken to accomplish the mission are appreciated.
Stanwick Management Consultants will help and guide you to build an integrated process around mission, core competencies, organisational architecture, individual competencies and culture. Together with CPM Stanwick Management Consultants has developed a comprehensive competency model that helps identify the key competencies needed in any organisation. Assessing these competencies is performed in cooperation with the assessment specialists of CPM.
The advantages of the Strategic Competence Management approach are:
- a clear competitive positioning through the determining of unique competitive advantages based on the core-competencies of the organisation
- higher organisational performance through the integration of business strategy, core competencies, core processes and the development of competencies (individual, team, organisation)
- strong performance improvement at the individual level, by working with critical competencies and the development of these “make or break” competences
