This document discusses several approaches and models for competency mapping. It describes Elliot Jaques' organizational model which focuses on individual competencies in areas like cognitive capacity. Peter Senge's approach emphasizes a learning organization that nurtures new capabilities. Dubois focuses on improving competencies through training strategies. Campion's model suggests teams with complementary competencies are more effective. Several individualistic models are also described, like the traditional person-job match model and strategy-based model. Various methods for competency mapping like questionnaires and interviews are listed. Finally, a 5-step career development model is outlined involving assessment, exploration, preparation, implementation, and decision-making.

Organizational Approaches Elliot Jaques provides a normative model of effective
hierarchical organizations with an emphasis on competencies. The elements include the
present and potential competencies of individuals along the dimensions of cognitive capacity, valuing the work, and non-disruptive personality. Peter Senges approach to a whole organization competency model is captured in his notion of the "learning organization." Its essential characteristics include nurturing the growth of new capabilities, transformational learning for survival, learning through performance and practice, and the inseparability of process and content.
HR Systems Approaches Dubois focuses on the whole human resources system, but emphasizes competency improvements through training and development strategies and programming: the contingencies are driven by organizational strategy but outcomes are focused on individual employees competency enhancement. Charles Snows contingency model links organizational performance to HRM and competency. Strategies depend on extent to which cause-effect relations affecting organizational performance are known and degree of formalized standards of desirable performance.
Team Approaches Campions model, which applies to professional work, suggests that teams composed of individuals with complementary competencies are more effective and have higher levels of job satisfaction than teams whose members have the same competency sets. This is especially true for work that is complex and varied in scope.
Individualistic Models Traditional Person-Job Match Model This model assumes that employees have jobs with specific and identifiable tasks. Work is generally standardized and repetitive in an organizational hierarchy. Job performance is readily verifiable. This model works best with organizations defined by stable environments. Strategy Based Model This model assumes that employees have roles defined by the organizations strategic goals. Work is flexibly defined and often carried out in a flattened, decentralized or matrix structure. Role performance is only partially verifiable. This model functions most effectively in organizations in competitive, complex or highly stressed environments. The Strategy Development Model This model assumes that employees with broad, strategic attributes will create their own roles which interact to produce the organizations strategy. Work is constantly evolving within a network of organizational relationships. This model is described in terms of organizations in chaotic, unpredictable, or very rapidly changing environments. Intellectual Capital Model These models emphasize the linkages and dynamic interaction among human capital, structural capital, and customer (client) capital. These models stress the knowledge that resides in employees and strategies to use it and value it differently.
