Competency Development - Problems & Challenges (1 of 2)



 No Systematic Competency Development Model / Approach

       No single & uniform/consistent approach (across teams/organization; Y-o-Y)
       Often assessment score/methodology/scope leads to subjectivity / dis-agreement
       Individual development plans are not dynamic, multi-dimensional
        and has no support framework to achieve
       Poor adoption of relevant industry standards & best practices benchmarking
       Often considered as short term / tactical instead of long-term & strategic!




 Not Standardized Competency Assessment & Individual Development Framework

    Poorly defined individual competency assessment & individual development focus
    Non availability of single employees repository (system / database):
          competency score
          development plans
          Knowledge management repository
    Synchronization between individual career aspirations & Org. requirements
    Missing hierarchical & secured employee data base for workflow approach
Competency Development – Problems & Challenges (2 of 2)

 Comprehensive, Sustainable & Evolving Competency Development Eco System

     Competency profile (show case your competencies, experience & domain)
     Skill inventory, Certifications, Awards & Patents/Ideas (show case your achievements)
     Functional groups / Professional internal networking
      (connections, skill search, info. exchange, posting questions/resolutions)
     Collaboration framework (web 2.0):
             Blogs, Forums/Threads
             Wiki (internal – organization specific encyclopedia that anyone can edit with moderation)
             Artifacts repository (documents, audio, video files, Ref URL, and books)
             Communication channel (chat, files upload, integrated email framework)




 Potential Implementation Challenges
     Management support
           budget
           formal organization development focus (business plan)
           Long term (strategic) & continuous focus on employees development
     Participation from engineers/internal professional community
           Sincere attempt
           Real interest for their own development (not only the company wants it)
     Partial automation & many manual / Ad-hoc process
           no end to end & conceptually integrated framework
           External vendor’s solutions does not cover all aspects
           Internal solutions not scalable, comprehensive & consistent
