Toward a Modeling Framework for Organizational Competency

Abstract

Competency modeling framework serves as a; (a) very important basis for the explanation of a generic competency modeling approach, (b) base element in the consolidation of existing knowledge in this area, (c) tool for model developers on selecting appropriate competency models, and (d) basis for competency modeling. This research uses literature review approach to propose a modeling framework for organizational competency. The proposed modeling framework has been developed based on the most relevant well known competency models. The research suggests that organizational competency can be categorized into three groups; individual competency, enterprise competency and collaboration-oriented competency. For modeling each of these groups, it is essential that the modeling process have to be aligned with model developer purpose (Modeling perspective), thus the model developing process will be based on the same segmentation model. Furthermore, competencies have to be model at different levels of abstraction (modeling intent).KeywordsCompetencyCapabilityModelingModeling framework
