Yesteryear success of competency frameworks has derived from the simple and efficient way they translate business strategy into approaches for selection, development and satisfaction management. However, today most organisations be employed in an even more complex, dynamic and uncertain environment than can be adequately addressed with a list of competencies. Instead organisations need people who have a diverse selection of talents, who will be encouraged to behave authentically, and who can value and use the gap in other business owners.

In 1973 McClelland published his seminal paper inside American Psychologist and started a powerful ‘competency movement’ which spread quickly through all industrial nations. Since then competency frameworks have played a vital role in recruiting, managing and developing employees. Most frameworks include competencies for instance creativity, strategic thinking, communication, influencing, enabling action, team working, providing outcomes, etc.

Inside the late 1980′s there was a view that to be able to reply to the increasing rate of change businesses could no longer select people based on static job descriptions, instead a much more flexible and generic approach was needed. Allow this, several generic competency frameworks were created to make certain managers could develop the relevant skills that could be transferred between jobs, departments and organisations. In the early 1990′s strategically aligned competencies became a basis for selection, performance management, development, promotion and career management. This remains the most prevalent way of talent management used today.
