So, what exactly is a competency-based framework? Simply put, it is a system that identifies the skills and abilities necessary for success in a particular role or industry. Rather than focusing solely on job requirements, a competency-based framework considers each employee's strengths and weaknesses.

What are competencies?

Competencies fall into two categories.

Skills Based and Inherent

The difference between skills-based competencies and inherent competencies lies in their origin and nature:

 

Skills-based competencies:

Skills-based competencies are acquired through training, education, and experience. Hats why we look at resumes and look for applicable experience. These competencies are typically related to specific tasks, functions, or technical areas. They are developed over time through deliberate effort and practice.

Skills-based competencies can be learned, trained, and enhanced through structured programs, on-the-job experience, and professional development activities. Examples of skills-based competencies include proficiency in a programming language, project management skills, or proficiency in operating certain machinery.

 

Inherent competencies:

Inherent competencies, also known as inherent traits or qualities, are characteristics that individuals possess naturally or inherently. These competencies are often related to personal attributes, behaviors, or attitudes contributing to success in various areas of life. Inherent competencies are typically not learned or acquired through training but are ingrained in an individual's personality or inherent nature.

 

It is important to note that while skills-based competencies can be developed and improved through training, inherent competencies are considered more difficult to change as they are deeply rooted in an individual's personality and characteristics. Both types of competencies are valuable and important in different contexts, and a well-rounded individual may possess a combination of skills-based and inherent competencies.

 

While many competencies can be developed and enhanced through training and experience, certain inherent qualities or traits are often considered difficult if not impossible, to train effectively. Here is a list of 10 competencies that are typically considered challenging to impossible to train. Someone either has them or they don't.

This show is best for new business owners, current business owners, and managers no matter if you are new or experienced and in any industry.
