This document discusses competency mapping and defines competencies. It notes that competencies are the characteristics of effective managers and performance in a job or organization. There are different types of competencies including threshold, managerial, functional, intellectual, social, and emotional competencies. The process of competency mapping involves identifying key competencies, generating competency models, and validating and implementing the models. Data is gathered through behavior events, interviews, and benchmark studies to identify competencies. Various assessment methods are used to evaluate competencies including self-assessments, psychometric tests, and case studies. An effective competency map ensures strategy alignment, unique roles, value-added tasks, and core competencies for competitive advantage.
