Meeting practical requirements for assessing competencies: A framework for a multi-dimensional, layer-based and dynamic model

  • With digitalization and automation, today's economy is undergoing fundamental changes. Organizations are facing increasing complexity and dynamism, coupled with demographic shifts that require changing workforce skills and organizational flexibility. To ensure a sustainable competitive advantage, it is necessary to efficiently deploy employees based on demand. In addition, a method for early identification and targeted development of future competencies within an appropriate forecasting horizon is required. Building on theoretical foundations, this paper examines the practical challenges of describing and assessing competencies. It also examines the interrelationships between competencies and between competencies and external factors. The paper categorizes competencies based on hierarchical level and task composition, and examines relationships between competencies and external factors. It proposes a novel multi-dimensional, layered, and dynamic competency model as a holistic approach to competency management and forecasting. Finally, this paper outlines steps for validating and implementing the model, and assesses its potential for practical application in organizations navigating the evolving digital landscape.
