What is a Competency Framework?

Competency Frameworks for Procurement

A well-defined Competency Framework for Procurement creates your blueprint for success. By providing an easy way to
measure if your team is acting skillfully and supporting the business goals, your competency framework defines what good looks like.

As a critical component of the competency management process, a competency framework for procurement allows
managers to identify, manage, and develop employee competencies. The approach aligns employees' skills and behaviours with the company's goals and helps create a competitive advantage for your organization.

Business Benefits

Your Competency Framework for Procurement will define what good procurement looks like in your business and provide the strategic direction necessary to achieve your business goals

  • Provides a common language:

    It gives a common language to your procurement and talent management activities which remove subjectivity in the judgment of good, bad or excellent performance

  • Links goals to behaviors:

    Connects organizational goals with day-to-day behaviours and skills needed, which creates a unity of direction for employees on daily tasks and projects, development, and succession.

  • Creates the foundation for successful skills assessment:

    Identify measured skill gaps in employee competencies and use them to create highly targeted development initiatives.

  • Visibility:

    Provides transparency into your organization's capability — particularly when combined with assessment. If an the organization does not have a common understanding of good, bad and excellent, its judgment cannot be fair and leads to confused discontented employees.

  • Career Mapping:

    Provide a comprehensive roadmap for employee recruitment, development, career planning, employee succession, and other essential development aspects.

  • Drives Performance:

    Provides senior management with the basis for continuous improvement in performance through better management of the skills and competencies that drive business results.
