A competency framework defines the knowledge, skills, and attributes needed for people within an organization. Each individual role will have its own set of competencies needed to perform the job effectively. To develop this framework, you need to have an in-depth understanding of the roles within your business. To do this, you can take a few different approaches:
Use a pre-set list of common, standard competencies, and then customize it to the specific needs of your organization.
Use outside consultants to develop the framework for you.
Create a general organizational framework, and use it as the basis for other frameworks as needed.
Developing a competency framework can take considerable effort. To make sure the framework is actually used as needed, it's important to make it relevant to the people who'll be using it – and so they can take ownership of it.
