Competencies
RamBase Competencies (CMP) is used to keep track of the necessary competencies to perform the required task in any professional role. You can find this application in the Human Resources module, and under the Qualifications administration sub-module.
The different competencies are listed in a hierarchy to the left, with a descriptive area at the top right.
The Role expectations-area lists the different roles where this specific competence is vital, in addition to expected level of competency within the role.
Expected scores:
0 - Not applicable
2 - Fundamental awareness (basic knowledge)
4 - Novice (limited experience)
6 - Intermediate (practical application)
8 - Advanced (applied theory)
10 - Expert (recognized authority)
Building the competency tree
The competency tree is built in an application called Competencies (CMP). The tree is built from the top level category, and then down to the sub-categories, and the competencies within the categories. A competency is an area of knowledge related to the category. These competencies are then connected to Role Expectations. A Role Expectation is the level of competency expected from an employee with a given role. For example, the competency called Production is expected for the role Production Planner, and the level of competency is expected to be 8 (advanced).
Click the folder icon called Add category next to the top level topic.
In the Competence area to the right, add a name and a description. Add as many top level categories as you need.
You can add sub-categories to the tree as you please.
Add a competency for the categories where needed.
For each of the competencies added, you may add a Role Expectation. This is done by clicking the Add role expectation button, adding the desired role and the expected score the role requires.
