Competency Analysis identifies the specific set of skills, behaviors and/or abilities that drive high performance.  Wayne State University’s Executive & Professional Development creates customized competency models based upon several sources of both internal and external data:

•  Strategic and business plans
• External benchmarking data
• Internal employee interviews and focus groups
• Leadership input and involvement
• Leading-edge research 

Organizations that are equipped with a customized competency model make wiser new employee recruitment decisions, understand how to obtain increased employee and leadership performance and ultimately link specific behaviors to improved business results.
