REWORKING OF A COMPETENCY MODEL

Just as with the introduction of employee or development reviews, we also provide support with the introduction of other HR instruments. A concrete practical example is the cooperation with a technical university with a renowned research institute in southern Germany. The existing competency model, which mapped the requirements for managers in research and administration, was reviewed according to the prevailing quality criteria after an internal workshop to determine the rough and detailed structure of the new model.

Concrete suggestions for improvement were then pointed out to the institute and discussed together. Supportive work was done, especially with regard to defining meaningful units of analysis as well as ensuring the discriminatory power and level of abstraction of the individual competences.
