Competency based training
Training providers who promise to fully train a competence in an intensive half day session are only telling you half the story.
Our concise training workshops give a great start to the development of each trainee.
We use a mix of facilitated experiential learning and accelerated learning techniques with small groups (4 to 6). Even then some more difficult competencies need two or three sessions.
What counts then is the vital support that the trainee gets from their line manager
and workmates to build on this start. We run sessions for line managers supervisors
and workmate-
We have developed or are developing training workshops on all of the following:
Recent research* shows that over 60% of companies (of all sizes) have a Competency
Framework in place. Of the rest, nearly half plan to implement one soon. Over 80%
of Competency Frameworks are bespoke -
A Competency Framework brings clarity to Performance reviews and Appraisals, enhances Employee and Organisational effectiveness, and is an excellent tool to link a TNA with the Business plan. Insight consultants can help you to develop or fine tune your own Competency Framework.
The term Competency describes the work related skills and behaviour needed to effectively perform in a role. Core competencies are required for all roles. Additional or Functional competencies are required for particular roles. On this page you’ll find a list of Core Competencies and Management Competencies.
One big challenge with competencies is in developing labels that are meaningful and are understood by all. A lot of work goes into defining what they are, and it is only in the detail that apparently different labels turn out to cover much the same ground.
So, if you don’t see exactly what you want in these lists let us know what you are looking for, it may be there under a different label. The labels here are from research into the most common terms used for competencies.
