> Innovative Approaches to Building Technical and Non-Technical Models

• Identify and include technical competencies in job competency models for professional, technical, or functional positions.
• Apply model-building approaches to special situations not covered by normal methods.
• Build models and a talent management process that align with the organization's culture and strategy, and contribute significantly to achievement of it's business goals.

People who have attended Workitect's Building Competency Models workshop, or have already built competency models, will benefit the most from attending this program.

Most competency models created today require the inclusion of technical, functional, or professional competencies. These competencies are so job-specific that there are no competency dictionaries or libraries from which to draw competency definitions. Day one of this program will teach you how to collect and analyze the data you need to create technical competencies to include in your job competency models. Topics include:

• Interviews to clarify the needs of persons who will use the competency models and the technical competencies.
• Technical Domain Interviews with subject matter experts to identify and define technical competencies within an organizational unit or population.
• Job Analysis Interviews to identify technical requirements of jobs.
• Competency Mapping Sessions to determine which technical competencies are needed at different levels in specific jobs.
• Planning and implementing a technical competency modeling project.

• Alternative architectures for competency models that will meet the needs of those who will use the competency models.
• Competency levels - leveling leading to hybrids, e.g. one-size-fits-all with levels. Presenting a model as a hierarchy of skill areas.
• Separating a set of foundational competencies that should normally be present in someone on entry into a target job.
• Ways to manage complexity in competency models.
• Global applications.
• Innovative applications of competencies in areas such as professional development, curriculum design, and workforce planning.
