METHODS AND TOOLS TO BE USED
Phase – I: Meeting with the top management group to identify competencies for the target group:
To do the above work of the Phase-I, we shall use two broad categories of approach (to be discussed in person when projects are to be finalised)
Phase —II: Mapping the competencies of the target groups
To assess the competencies of the target group, we shall take the route of Assessment Center Methodology. That means, we shall be using 8-9 tools (depending upon the needs) with a view to
(a) Assess each competency by two (at least) tools,
(b) Assess each competency by two (at least) assesses, and
(c) Assess each individual for each competency by two or more assessors.
The above mentioned 3 pronged attack will give definite edge to our methodology by accruing a very high level of reliability and validity to the results and conclusions regarding each individual case.

COMPETENCY MAPPING
What is competency?
Competence is the power to perform things efficiently. A regulated need of the individual to do a specific job successfully is called competence. It is a combination of knowledge, skills, and behavior used to enhance the performance. More generally, it is an outlook in achieving the specific role appropriately. Competency has various characteristics, types, and level of applications.
Competency mapping- Introduction
Competency mapping is one of the advanced levels of application. Competency mapping recognizes an individual’s strengths and weaknesses. The aim is to enable the person to better understand oneself and to point out where career development efforts need to be directed.

Competency mapping is the process through which one approaches and determines one’s strength as an individual worker.
Description
To focus on better performance, to improve time management and to build the competition in a core, we require competency mapping. The two main stages for competency mapping involve Job Analysis and Behavioral event interview.
- In the stage of Job Analysis, the company needs to list core competency requirements for the job concerned. The next step should be of a competency scale for the job on the parameters previously identified. Taking it one step further by using the evaluated results to give additional training to the employees which will help to focus on training needs on the goals of position and company, resulting in ultimate development and success.
- A behavioral interview is designed in a way to collect information about past behavior. As past performance is key predictor of future behavior. This type of interviews attempts to uncover past performances by asking open ended questions Each questions help the interviewer to better understand your key skill area required for role position, through your experiences.
