I work at a large global company and we are in the process of building a competency model.  Would anyone be willing to share their competency model and what it’s used for?

Hi there, we've just launched a leadership framework and competency model for our entire company.  We also used the Korn Ferry
 Leadership Architect framework. We did a competency selection exercise for both the People Leadership and Technical Leadership pathways.  Validated via focus groups.  Recently launched as part of global roadshow under the banner of "Sparking Careers at XYZ Company"  (We're a global tech company with HQ in Bay Area, CA)

I’ve used IBM and Mercer in the past. Most recently we implemented our skills foundation for sub-families related to all of our corporate and professional roles.  The architecture allows you to define the skills, competencies definitions for roles at your company. Doing this work gives you a foundation to build more transparency around career paths. It allows you to connect performance and development in a way that ensures equity in how talent is advanced and promoted in your organization. It also allows you to develop more standardized job profiles and descriptions. That’s why it’s the foundational work.

Hi, we developed a competency framework using a co-creation process that was designed specifically for our organization.  We partnered with Willis Towers Watson (WTW) to leverage their competency framework, and their methodology to build the competencies.

Competency model is the Core competencies of organizations based on future, it need to support Company's strategy.  Typically, core competencies require management brainstorming to identify potential issues or challenges in strategic implementation, as well as the required competencies. 3-5 core competencies are recommended.

Hi Jeff,
We use the Korn Ferry Leadership Architect framework. It has worked well for us, we use a core set across all departments & roles. Then utilize the competency selection exercise to align a specific set to each department.
