The concept of
Competency Mapping is quite effective and creative. Without knowledge about relevant skills and competencies related to job/task/assignment execution strategies while correlating with designation, it will be very difficult to carry out competency mapping.
Since you are not in a position to hire consultants, I suggest the following steps:
1) Spare some time studying roles and responsibilities, employee category-wise.
2) Seek support from respective department heads to acquire a relevant set of skills and competencies required for successful job execution.
3)
Skills vs. Competency
Skills are different from competencies. For example, an Electrical Engineer appointed as a Supervisor, given a team of 20 Technicians, needs additional skills (competencies) to manage his team to achieve organizational goals while delivering quality output. Competencies at the supervisory level include team building, business communication skills, effective planning, organizing, scheduling, delegation, monitoring, support, feedback, communication, listening, interpersonal skills (across levels), mentoring and coaching, leadership skills (directive/adaptive/supportive/cooperative/influential), decision making, conflict and problem solving, and the ability to deal with customers.
You need to define these specific competencies accurately; otherwise, the mapping process (measuring factors) will be cumbersome, biased, and may seem like just assuming things. For example, "Aiming without a target (goal) has no use" or "Building castles in the air."
You may also Google it or search the CiteHR database for basic help.
I suggest you purchase the ebook version from
amazon.com, "The Value-Added Employee," by Edward J. Cripe and Richard S. Mansfield.
Kindly develop your confidence level and start thinking creatively for better results as we all are blessed with many skills. No doubt, we learn by making mistakes. But, the mistakes shouldn't be repeated intentionally.
We need to take risks to succeed in our lives; otherwise, we will never progress nor taste success.
Good luck.
With profound regards
