Competency frameworks –

default-16x9

I am working with a small charity working on health, reproductive and health rightsand advocacy,delivered through programmes and projects. I am developing a competency framework for them and was hoping there might be some off the shelf things I could look at and adapt rather than reinvent the wheel. Any suggestions of where to go for ideas and formats and ways to integrate with appraisal schemes etc......

    Although I have no “off the shelf” models to offer you, I have done quite a lot of work in this area and have recommended the following book on several occasions to others as a good source of information for people in a similar position to you.

    You might find it an interesting read and that it will spark a few ideas for you:-

    Competencies In Action by Jane Weightman – published IPD – ISBN 0-85292-557-3

    Interestingly enough, some of the case studies cited in the book relate to the authors experience of working with a Healthcare Trust and a regional health authority.

    Hope you find this useful!

  2. COMPETENCY FRAMEWORKS
    The book already recommended is good – don’t forget to consider whether the competencies are to/will reflect the current staus quo/recent history or are more dynamically aimed at developing the org towards a different future – in my experience also it is important to avoid managers and operators of appraisal systems seeing competencies as some sort of HR bureaucratic ‘toy’ bolted onto ‘real life’- happy to chat 020 8878 6422 – Iain Thomson
