The CII's new competency framework gives Chartered firms the perfect opportunity to demonstrate their commitment to nurturing knowledge.
The Professional Map is open to all — you don’t have to be a CII member or an employee of a Chartered firm to access it. We’re encouraging Chartered firms to take a lead in talking to colleagues about how they can use it to:
- Self-assess their existing competencies
- Identify future career pathways
- Prepare for appraisals and development plans
- Find relevant learning solutions to fill skills gaps
Firms can also utilise the map across their organisation to:
- Develop standardised job specifications
- Design competency-based interviews and evaluations
- Prioritise organisational skills development plans
The map covers not only technical expertise, but also behaviours and skills that are vital to the profession, all defined using customer-centric outcomes.
Look out for invitations to a Chartered Webinar coming soon, in which we will share how you can make sure that your firm is getting the most from this industry-leading framework.
