Competency Models

Is your organization focused on the competencies that enable your people to deliver exceptional performance?

As pioneers in developing competency models for prominent Fortune 500 and financial services clients, Cambria Consulting brings over 30 years of experience in crafting business-focused competencies for hiring, job definition, performance management, development, promotion, career development and succession planning.

Customized Approach. Cambria Consulting’s custom-built competency models help you define the difference between average and outstanding performance, in harmony with the organization’s goals and values. The benefits of our models include:

• A focus on the few factors that make the most difference, creating a context for the feedback and development needed to move employees to higher levels of performance.
• A strategy-based, yet flexible approach built on an understanding of your business strategy and goals, and how the whole suite of talent management applications can address them.
• A common performance language, whether you are using competencies to guide selection, performance management or development. Your competency model could include:
  • Organization-wide competencies that capture what is most essential to exceptional performance in the broadest range of jobs;
  • Job-specific competencies for high-value jobs to help you win the war for talent by focusing on the most critical elements of outstanding performance;
  • Future-focused competencies to align cultures, navigate change and reposition rapidly for emerging business challenges.

Applying the knowledge derived from a substantial database of competencies and the business situations that require them, we work with our clients collaboratively. This ensures that you will identify the most critical competencies that drive exceptional performance in your professional, managerial and executive roles. Our comprehensive approach embraces knowledge, skills, experiences, personal characteristics and behaviors that combine to produce outstanding results.

If you would like a customized competency model that addresses your most important talent management challenges, Cambria Consulting is your partner.
