  4. Competence – Oxford English • A noun • 1 the quality or extent of being competent. • 2 an income large enough to live on.

  5. Competence - CIPD • Competencies are a signal from the organisation to the individual of the expected areas and levels of performance. They provide the individual with a map or indication of the behaviours that will be valued, recognised and in some organisations rewarded. Competencies can be understood to represent the language of performance in an organisation, articulating both the expected outcomes of an individual’s efforts and the manner in which these activities are carried out.

  6. Those organisations that had a competency framework in place were asked what proportion of employees were covered. The results showed that on average almost four out of five employees (78%) were included. Half of those with a framework in place (50%) reported that they had a single framework across the organisation. It is common therefore for competencies to extend across the organisation and be expressed as a single framework.

  7. Competence – levels • Novice: Rule based behaviour, strongly limited and inflexible • Experienced Beginner: Incorporates aspects of the situation • Practitioner: Acting consciously from long term goals and plans • Knowledgeable practitioner: Sees the situation as a whole and acts from personal conviction • Expert: Has an intuitive understanding of the situation and zooms in on the central aspects • Dreyfus & Dreyfus
