Dear Friends,
Some time back in the HR world, competency assessment was the buzzword, but now it seems that it is losing its charm. Frankly speaking, I don't know the reason for its downfall. Is it because of the fact that it was just another HR fad or somehow the companies took it wrongly? Whatever the reason is, I still feel that it has lots of scope and surely it can improve the performance of the organization if it is taken for developmental purposes rather than using it as a tool for issuing pink slips. Would like to know your opinion.
Regards

Dear Gaurav,
I agree with you. However (if given permission to say), that 'Competency Mapping' is not everyone's cup of tea. A specialized branch of Psychology, Psychometrics, and Occupational behavior research are working on it (and have shown some light).
Competency is not something that everybody can evaluate and assess using just a questionnaire. Moreover, while practicing 'projectives' (a certain type of psychological tests), one needs specialized training. It's just a humble suggestion that if anybody wishes to do competency mapping, he or she should have a deep understanding of the subject. If practiced correctly, it will be of great use.
In my opinion, one can suggest a medicine or two based on experience for a particular disease. However, to achieve mastery, he or she must have passed at least MBBS (or have equivalent knowledge of the subject).
