Here’s a typical list of Core Competencies you might find in medium to large size corporations on both sides of the Atlantic today:

But most companies stop there. Having established its values in terms of competencies, the organisation is content to let its appraisal system drive improvement in Core Competencies. But that is not enough. We don’t look only for Teamwork, or Integrity, or management skills, when we recruit our stars of the future - we also want them to know how to do the jobs  they’re applying for. So we need to analyse and define Professional Competencies, to tell us how good their professional or technical skills are - and so we can see where they need to develop.
