Hello, Allan!
In fact, it’s easy to create Competency map. Use some software (or just pen and paper) to create your mind map (in fact, it’s a semantic map).
The main topic must be the job title or task. Then you need to create a sub topics to identifying the competencies. You may add topics like “managerial”, “conceptual knowledge”, “Analytical Ability” and others. Browse this thread to find various ideas.
Now the goal is to map employees abilities in sense of this competency map. For instance, you can copy a competency map branch to every item in person map of you company and rate them individually. Well, it sounds complicated…
Hm… I’m interested in this topic and will try to evaluate some ideas about competency with mind map.

Dear Anu

Please, see what I have found. I’ll try to attach a picture-made screenshot of my experience with creating competence map.
I’ve found several mind mapping tools, well know Mind Manager (used by fortune companies, so it’s expensive), Mind Pad (that I used to create this sample), Free Mind (opensource free tool for mind mapping).
I have a good experience with Mind Pad. I was able to create a “person” topic (me), I designed custom “competence” object and linked it with me. See the screenshot. I feel I’ve found something new!
If anyone is interested in further details then let me know, I’ll be happy to contribute my competence map and object!
