With more than 30 years of psychometric research, Vangent's competency modeling solutions objectively define and prioritize organizational competencies. While many organizational competencies seem important on the surface, only a select few directly relate to mission-critical business objectives-making competency modeling critical to an organization's success. That's because:

• It enables organizations to define their talent needs, based on business-relevant information

• It enables organizations to align development with the organization's needs

• It enables organizations to evolve with workplace and market changes

Our structured, three-tiered approach (quantitative survey, existing competency analysis, and qualitative performance analysis) enables Vangent to administer functional competencies to its clients. The deliverables from these analyses can create a road map for the following:

• Workforce Planning

• High-Potential Employee Identification

• Knowledge Management

• Employee Development

• Benchmarking

• Recruitment Profiling

Vangent's best practice addresses the competency needs for the organization at three levels within the organization: (1) executive, (2) director, and (3) supervisor/manager. This provides clients with a clear development pathway for systematically building talent across the organization, aligned with business strategy.
