Competency Frameworks have existed in some form for several decades now. A competency is a collection of related knowledge, skills, abilities and other personal characteristics working in concert to produce outstanding performance in a given area of responsibility.

A Competency Framework affects a major part of one’s job, correlates with performance on the job, can be measured against well-accepted standards and can normally be improved through training and development. 

A well-defined Competency Framework enables a Company to achieve its strategic goals, create higher job satisfaction and reduce employee turnover.  It is the tool standard that every organization needs as a common denominator to create Human Capital initiatives that are objective, transparent, well defined and consistently applied.  It provides employees with an understanding of skills needed for their own role and what they will need to develop for promotion and provides the Leadership with a tool to assess their workforce by and develop for leadership bench strength and organizational sustainability.

To support your organization’s focus on High Performance and the development of your Human Capital, Fortner Consulting will work with you to develop and implement a Competency Framework that will reflect your business model, organizational culture and achieve your strategic goals.
