18 Sep Workshop to Design & Implement own AC
Competence is an operationalized part of the requirement profile. Various competencies are assembled as a catalogue to ensure a comprehensive and holistic view about a person.
Competence is a measurable characteristic of a person, related to success and not only at work. Everybody knows the interdependence of work/life balance.
Competence may be a behavior, a skill, an attribute, or an attitude.
Competences are distributed to Dimensions and Sub dimensions. The naming depends to the company’s orientation and can be dyed accordingly (Dimension, Core-competence, Factors)
Catalogue of Dimensions (Competencies) as an example
Strategic thinking and planning
Interaction with people
Customer focus
Leadership
Performance management
Example: Strategic thinking and planning (Competence)
Sub – dimensions:
Analytical and strategic focus
Planning the task
Planning resources
Acting creative and flexible
A clearly defined approach of competencies constitutes a solid base for designing selection/development Assessment Centers by yourself.
The snapshot offered by such an AC (based on exercises simulating business contexts) it gives additional information, as part of a portfolio which is including previous experience and performance of a candidate, enabling the estimation of future potential.
