Why are most world-class organizations using competencies to define
and drive high performance?

The very best global companies have discovered a competitive
advantage. Organizational performance is a function of having
clearly defined individual, team and organizational competencies.
Competencies are providing an internal, common framework for
organizations to clearly understand what skills, knowledge, and
behavioral benchmarks are required to meet their strategic
objectives. By defining the competencies, employees, managers and
leaders can grasp what is required to reach new levels of
excellence and performance. Once the competencies are defined,
competency-based tools and applications are designed and
implemented. Today, the best organizations are effectively using an
integrated competency framework to attract, develop, measure and
reward their entire workforce.
