Comparing Competency Models: Which One Fits Best for IT Management Staff?

Dear all,

My question is related to Competency Models. As per my knowledge, there are eight competency models/frameworks:

1. Organizational Competency-based Competency Model
2. Commitment & Competence-based Competency Model
3. 5-Level Competency Model
4. Job-based Competency Model
5. Generic & specific Competency Model
6. Managerial, Behavioral & Functional Competency-based Model
7. Organizational Goal-linked Competency Model
8. Technical & Behavioral Competency Model (for non-managerial staff)

Can anyone help me compare and contrast all the above models and recommend which model is best suited to be used as a framework for Competency Identification/Competency Profiling for Management Staff in an IT company and WHY?

I am looking forward to your response as I am in the midst of completing my assignment and need your help now.

Regards

Dear Ditti,

I do not know how much time you were given to develop this. Here is an abstract of a paper. I am not sure if you have seen this.

Here is a link to how Hewlett-Packard, where our son worked as a director, developed a CM for its sales force. [The Competency Modeling Approach](http://sdsu.edu) *[link updated to site home]*. I suggest that you write to Maggie LaRocca.

Here is another link to a very useful page [CareerOneStop - Competency Model Pyramid Definition](http://www.careeronestop.org/competencymodel/pyramid_definition.aspx). If you click on the model and various aspects of the model, more details are revealed. I hope this solves your problem.

The above were found by Google search at [Competency Models + Comparison - Google Search](http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&source=hp&q=competenc y+models+%2B+comparison&btnG=Google+Search &meta=&rlz=1R2SKPB_enGB332&amp ;aq=f&oq=).

Have a nice day.
