Competence framework development

Competence framework development is the basis of success for organisations of all sizes and types.  We believe that if you can identify the behaviours that make individuals successful in a job, a team or a department then you can replicate that success across the organisation.  Using a variety of techniques e.g. behavioural event interviews, repertory grid techniques and focus group sessions, we develop a competence framework that is unique and relevant to your company.  This means that we ensure that the descriptors, the behaviours and the language are understood by everyone in the organisation.  Applications of competence framework development are:

Recruitment & selection Assessment for development & promotion Training needs analysis

Appraisal systems Performance management Coaching and mentoring

Assessment and development centres

We have gained an excellent reputation for designing and facilitating assessment and development centres in both the private and public sector.  The entire process is based on competence at work.  After detailed consultation with you, we design assessment/development centres using exercises or tests which have high "face validity" with both the candidates and the assessors i.e. they are job related, challenging and most importantly discriminate between high and low performers.  We always ensure that candidates are provided with feedback throughout and after the process.   Constructive feedback is the key to successful assessment and development.   Some recent work includes:

Graduate assessment centres Assessor training Psychometric testing
