Focus topic: Competence management

In complex and dynamic markets predictions of any kind are highly unstable. In consequence, decisions-makers must act - more than ever - under conditions of incomplete knowledge and corporate groups and teams have to organize themselves more or less autonomously. To succeed in such environments, people need specific skills: Competences are personal requisites of self-organization to cope with new and non-routine challenges. As an operative term, competences include non or less developed potentials as well.

Many companies in search for high potentials, young leaders and competent staff measure competences of their employees. Others install HR processes to actively manage competences and talents in their organization to differentiate themselves from competitors.

We regard the introduction of professional competence management as part of corporate development and a unique opportunity for HR units to transform into strategic buiness partners within the company. In today's corporate world, HR is challenged to provide strategic approaches that align competence and people development with the future needs of the company.

With KODE® and KODE®X we offer an instrument that links HR competence management to corporate strategy and drives effective processing of personnel recruitment, development and organization. KODE® and KODE®X are based on a profound and scientifically proven compentence model that is logical, complete and without restrictions in scale or type of company.

>> KODE®X closes the gaps between strategy development, job descriptions, personalized competence profiles and people development

>> KODE® is based on the same competence model and allows for detailed competence diagnostics and supports individual competence development.
