Client Testimonials
“Workitect brought a significant amount of practical expertise in Competency Model design to the table. This helped us decide on what the best approach would be early into the project, given our particular corporate culture and context. Workitect was able to present alternatives that felt right for us, without feeling like we were getting “off the shelf” products.” Ruben Decoud Manager, International Human Resources, Mary Kay Inc.
"My organization uses the Workitect methodology for writing competency models because it's structured enough to give us direction, but the many tools provided also allow for flexibility. You're not forced into using a cookie-cutter approach when you're faced with time constraints or the complexities that often arise when you're trying to pinpoint success factors for highly technical or ever-evolving jobs. The models we designed using the Workitect approach helped our company revamp our entire performance development process." Mary Kay LaBrie, Corporate Trainer, SCC SoftComputer
