Competency Development |
|
| Overview |

A competency is the knowledge, skills, ability, and characteristics associated with high performance on a job. High performing businesses use competencies to:
- Help them distinguish between high, average and low performance of leaders.
- Base their selection of the best people for a leadership position on the the right knowledge, skills and experience.

|
|
Business Improvement Architects focuses on the development of more creative and innovative strategies, ensuring that departmental strategies are linked to the overall corporate strategic plan. This includes understanding the voice of the customer, conducting benchmarking and identifying opportunities to engage employees throughout the strategic thinking process. A focus on developing, guiding and facilitating the strategic thinking skills of the leaders is made and these leaders will learn how to create an inclusive, strategic conversation throughout the strategic thinking process. The application of innovation to the development of key strategies is explored as well as how to ensure the strategies are successfully implemented.
