Evolution of Competency Mapping
• IBM would keep a record of different
qualities a person must posses to perform the
job effectively.
• Employees would use their knowledge to
select and train their subordinates
• HR converted it into structural and formal
process and named it as Competency
Mapping

Prof Tejaswni Patil _ CM Course Faculty


CM and IBM

• Every employee was asked to fill up a


questionnaire that asks them what they are
doing, what skills and abilities are needed to
perform their job well.
• Having discovered the similarities in the
questionnaire, a competency based Job
description was crafted.
• Mapping of an employees abilities to the
benchmarks and deciding its future accordingly
Prof Tejaswni Patil _ CM Course Faculty
Many companies like L and T, Info tech, HCL
technologies, SBI, Idea cellular, Exide industries, follow
CM process.

History of Competency Mapping
Scientific Management – Taylor and Ford – Time motion study

little value to employees


no scope for training
employees were not able to handle boredom and strain
more ppl outside to apply for.
World War II
Ppl who had command had skills and abilities, After
war they still lived in command- control hierarchy
Task broken into smaller tasks and was done by
specialists
McClelland said that IQ and personality tests were the
predictors of competency.

Companies should hire based on competency than on IQ


Experiment

He asked one of the company ppl to give


him the list of outstanding employees and
ppl whose jobs were secure but no way
outstanding.

Employees were asked to tell where they


are good at and where they are messing
up.
Experiment

To validate the same it was experimented


on another group of officers who had
been identified as outstanding and a few
who fell into mediocre category.

Mediocre performed poorly and


outstanding ppl performed well

Competencies were relevant to job


performance
Research team developed Behavioral Event interview

Employees were asked to provide detailed accounts in short story


form how did they approach several critical work situations both
successfully and unsuccessfully

Employee did, said and thought at key situations

Content analysis was used to identifying themes


differentiating the outstanding performers from average
The themes were organized into small set of competencies which
researchers hypothesized were the determinants of outstanding
performance

AT and T associates, Douglas, McClelland identified the


competencies of entrepreneurs and managers across the world.

Assessment centers and on job training can be used to identify the


competencies.

Applied across functions of HR

Prof Tejaswini Patil - Course Faculty


Is the Organization Serious about it?

• Total commitment
• Leadership must have a vision to drive the
process and the potential to complete it

Prof Tejaswini Patil - Course Faculty


What is the Goal—Quality or
Excellence?
• Quality is doing things according to standards
• Excellence is a relative term, it is being better
than others

Prof Tejaswini Patil - Course Faculty


Is the Development Effort Periodic or
Continuous?
• The management must be willing to provide
sufficient development resources periodically
and for continuous development it must link
development efforts to planned changes

Prof Tejaswini Patil - Course Faculty


Is the Assessment a Continuous
Process
or is it a One-time Endeavour?
• Competency assessment and reporting can be
completed over the intranet within the
organization at any time for all positions

Prof Tejaswini Patil - Course Faculty


Are the Competencies Reflecting
Current
Activities or Future Activities?
• The question that arises is: who is sufficiently
qualified to assess employees on something
they are not yet doing? How would the
standards be set? How do new processes drive
competency needs and how do available
employee competencies drive process
options? How does one develop, identify and
assess anticipated competencies for new
processes?
Prof Tejaswini Patil - Course Faculty
What should be the Time Frame for
the Project?
• In the first year, the stress should be on the
development of the model and initial
assessment
• The second year should show a refinement in
the model and assessment, with improved
results
• By the third year it should reach a certain level
of maturity

Prof Tejaswini Patil - Course Faculty


How will the Organization Use the
