Developing Competencies
We work with organisations to identify the competencies required to enable them to develop their people and align with their nationalization, succession, and business strategies. We have designed specific competency frameworks and updated existing competency frameworks for a range of organisations including: KPC, Libyana, Kuwait, & Yemen LNG.
Our approach to Training Needs Analysis is competency based; our focus is on identifying evidence of where processes and standards can be improved and what competent delivery of those processes and standards looks like. Our competency frameworks consider the future developments that will impact your industry and therefore enable succession planning.
Competency frameworks enhance the following internal processes:- Recruitment & Selection
- Performance Evaluation
- Performance Management
- Training & Development Needs Analysis
- Succession Planning
We design bespoke competency based training and development events to enable learners to experience the skills and behaviours required for success in a range of roles in their organisation, enabling them to identify and assess their development needs.

We also work with a small team of actors who in roles of auditors, inspectors, or reporters arrive at the events unannounced to produce a truly authentic experience.
