What is the Competency Framework and how to use it?

How are competencies to be developed identified within the Competency Framework?

How does the Competency Framework work?

The Competency Framework’s personalized development plan is designed to create tailored development journeys for each employee.

Scientific approach: Based on the latest advances in psychometrics and behavioral science.
Highly personalized plans: Created in just a few seconds using AI, focusing on each individual’s key competencies and real potential.
Learning in the flow of work: Enables rapid adaptation and continuous learning without interrupting day-to-day activities.
Behavior change: Encourages the adoption of concrete habits to support gradual, lasting change.
Closing skill gaps: Helps address critical competency gaps to remain competitive.
Talent engagement and retention: Improves engagement and retention through tailored growth paths.

How are competencies to be developed identified within the Competency Framework?

After completing an initial competency assessment, the employee can generate a development plan for one or more specific competencies. The process begins with a short onboarding step to provide context around the employee’s goals and specific needs, including questions about their objectives, level of autonomy, way of working, and preferred language. This stage personalizes the plan based on each individual’s unique situation.

Next, generative AI creates a tailored development plan based on the employee’s competency profile, goals, role, and context. The plan is structured into several key sections:

Get Started: This section encourages deeper self-reflection by providing a detailed description of the competency, why it matters, examples of relevant situations, and examples of productive and counterproductive behaviors. It helps the employee understand the importance of the competency and assess where they currently stand.
Habit Building: To support lasting change, this section encourages the adoption of three specific habits and applies goal-setting theory. Setting clear and motivating goals helps drive sustainable behavior change and continuous competency development, while fitting naturally into the employee’s daily routine.
Multiple Learning Resources: To broaden learning opportunities, two TED Talks are recommended for each competency, offering inspiring and insightful perspectives. This holistic, multimodal approach maximizes the chances of personal growth.
