Competency Modeling Services
Our competency modeling experts create customized success profiles so you can measure what really matters throughout the employee lifecycle.
Streamline and simplify with a custom competency model.
A competency model is your organization's blueprint for success. So, you can't hire people, develop leaders, or manage performance well without one. We help you to streamline and simplify your competencies by defining what's unique about your culture and eliminating things that don't predict performance outcomes.
Competency Models Built the Right Way
Our experts have mastered the science and art of competency modeling. The science matters because competencies are only useful if you can measure them reliably in your talent-management processes. And, the art matters because every word in every definition should capture your organization's uniqueness. We achieve that by combining your input with our expertise in behavioral science.
PCI's 4 Competency Modeling Design Principles
Purpose & Impact
We start by understanding what problem you’re solving and the impact you want to achieve. Whether improving hiring decisions or performance management, we help you define your goals and track the impact of your model.
Cultural Alignment
First, we learn about your Mission, Vision, and Values. Then, we include your stakeholders in the process. This helps us understand what success looks like in your organization. So, every aspect of your competency model will have your culture's stamp on it.
Distinct & Measurable
We apply our knowledge of psychometrics to define competencies that are observable and don't overlap with each other. So, you'll easily be able to evaluate them in interviews, assessments, and performance reviews.
Relatable & Memorable
If people can't remember or understand your competencies, they won't be useful. So, we keep things simple. Every employee will know what behaviors they need to display to perform well and support your organization's culture.
