Competency Management

Management Competencies

The best managed companies in the world have adopted a Competency Management System to maximize the effectiveness of their employees. All too often, however, these systems end up being too complex and too difficult to apply in practice.

Keep it Simple. Keep it Targeted. Keep it Practical.

ECI has developed a unique approach to building and updating Competency Management Systems that significantly enhances an organization's ability to hire, manage, and develop top performers at all levels.

What is a Competency System?

Competency Systems are programs that enable staff members to understand what success looks like in behavioral terms. Good Competency Assessment Systems serve as a guide for decision making and focused activity on the job. They clearly communicate performance standards for success and create a common language for the organization to use.

The Foundation of All People Systems

To make your Competency System "stick", you have to be sure that it is ingrained in the various processes you use to manage your people. ECI recommends launching new/revised people management systems, such as selection processes and performance review programs, with the Competency System to guarantee the proper use and reinforcement of the information in practice.

How is ECI’s Approach to Competencies Unique?

• We go beyond what people think leads to success - efficient, multi-pronged study yields valid, targeted information
• Competency Model structure is tailored to align to an organization's business strategy
• Competency Models contain no more than 5-6 targeted behavioral dimensions, with key outputs and observables
• Tools, such as structured interview guides, job descriptions, Competency Assessments, performance review tools and more, are included in the Package Program
