Competency Framework Design: Create a common "language" throughout the organization

A competency framework allows organizations to align individual behaviors to group or corporate goals. It specifies the requirements for good performance in a given role, thereby facilitating end-to-end talent management practices, from identifying job-relevant competencies to engaging talent assessment tools to managing performance.

Competencies are defined as 'sets of behaviors that are instrumental in the delivery of desired results' (Bartram et al, 2002). In the business context, they are behaviors that support the achievement of goals and are aligned with the organization's strategy.
