OECD Competency Framework
A week on competency frameworks...
Competency frameworks can be used to identify and communicate the skills an employee is expected to have to be successful in their current role and what they need to develop if they want to be promoted. The OECD’s framework is the top hit returned when searching “competency framework” on google. In their talent document, they describe their jobs as falling into one of three job families: 1) executive leadership, 2) policy research, analysis and advice, and 3) corporate management and administration. These three roles translate pretty directly to what many managers must do in a corporate job. Specific technical competencies are unique to every job, while the core competencies tend to be important across all types of jobs. The OECD’s method of grouping the 15 core competencies into three buckets is a simple and easy way to think about how to develop as a manager.
