What is a Competency Model?

What is a Competency Model? Competency models describe the knowledge, skills, abilities and other personal characteristics required for a person to be successful in a job and to perform that job effectively. For business analysis, the BABOK Guide addresses the knowledge component of competency. competency Competency on its own is not a guarantee of success in a role. Job performance can be influenced by many other factors, including factors intrinsic motivation, the work environment, or the practices and procedures in place in an organization. organization Competent individuals are still capable of failure. Competence is a standardized requirement for an individual to properly perform a specific role. It encompasses a combination of k bi i f knowledge, skills l d kill and behavior utilized to improve performance. More generally, competence is the state or quality of being adequately or well qualified, having the ability to t perform a specific role. f ifi l
