What are the key competencies required in an IT job and what are the very few threshold competencies that allow a person to differentiate between an associate consultant and a senior consultant level, and then between a senior consultant and a manager?
I am working on a project where I have to prepare a competency model for my company. So, I need the above information to start with. Can anyone provide me with some examples or help me start my project?
Thanks,

Hi,
Although I may not be able to provide a specific answer to your query regarding an IT industry/consultant-manager mapping scenario, key/core competencies are the most intrinsic and high priority for a particular role. For instance, functional competencies for the vertical are a must for a Consultant/Analyst/Manager. These cannot be ignored at any level.
However, in growing into a role, threshold competencies would differentiate the incumbents for the role, such as Relationship Management, Sales Closing Ability, etc. These would, in most circumstances, have more proficiency levels than the key/core competencies to establish an objective measurement for individuals to progress into higher roles.
Hope this information helps.
