Competency Modeling
Challenge
Executives from five different operating units of a software company wanted to identify the essential leadership skills needed to achieve three-year strategic goals.
Solution
- Used Lominger International’s Leadership Architect® to conduct competency modeling sessions for executive teams in five business units and identified key leadership competencies needed to deliver on their strategic goals.
- Compared the five operating unit competency models and created a common leadership development model for the organization.
- Designed and facilitated a management training and coaching program to develop the skills in the common competency model.
Results
- All five operating units had both a unique and a common leadership competency model to use for developing and hiring their leaders.
- Managers at all levels in the organization used these competency models as a guide for their talent management practices.
- Executives and managers demonstrated significant skill level improvement in key competency areas.

Define Competencies.
With 15 years’ IT experience including several roles in Service and Development, I became really impressed with the competency model program Elaine and her team created and fostered in our business. While the idea of a system that can contribute to stronger employee development is not novel in and of itself, the nurturing of the system across our business departments drove organizational consistency, and that was novel.
