Hi Irfan,
if you want to do competency mapping in any organization, then first you have to study thoroughly about it. there are many types of competency mapping. first study all that then decide which type you want to do. I will definitely help you. in this. For implementing you also have to study about the company, the departments, their job profile etc. then find the KRA's and JD's. then I will tell the further processing.

hi Irfan,
I am from Indai and I dont know about the latest trends of Quatar that what's new going up there. but I can support you according what in India HR people follows.
there are some types of competency mapping i.e. 360 degree competency, 180 degree competency.
in 360 degree, the particular person is mapped by his immediate subordinate, this immediate boss, peers and the customer also.

but in 180 degree, there are only 2 parameters i.e. by immediate boss and by the subordinate.

now you decide what you want to implement and also what latest going on in Qatar. You really have to study your market that what the competitors of the industry is following. because that effects a lot

Dear Nipuna.....thanx for your brief...its excellent...I completely understand the concept now....best regards, krishna

Competency Modeling Process
The process steps in mapping competencies and configuring assessments are as follows:
Step 1: Study of Job Descriptions.

Step 2: Discussions with job holders.

Step 3: Focus Group discussions with superiors.

Step 4: Competency Model building.

Step 5: Competency refinement after discussions with client team.

Step 6: Assessment Configuration.
Competency modeling and assessments
Competencies define the skills and capabilities needed by people to succeed within an organization. Competencies are mapped to individual jobs and outline the expectations for different roles and positions.
An efficient competency modeling process helps identify competencies and assess competency gaps in managers.
Value of Competency models

• Selection - Provide a clear target for selection practices and candidate evaluation.

• Development - Focus development activities on the skills, knowledge and characteristics that will have an impact on job effectiveness.

• Training - Maximize the investment of training .
• Performance Management - Clarify work expectations and measurement in a common language.

• Succession Planning - Shift focus beyond current performance to potential for future roles.

Hi,
You have to first identify core competencies of the company this you may find out through top leaders of the orgtanisation and then each job you will have techical and behavioural compentencies in JDs. Map these with individual competencies which you can get it through 360 performance appraisal method or from Line Manager. Perhaps this way you may be able to do the competency mapping.
