What is a Competency Model?

Competency Models provide structured information about the capabilities needed to perform work in a specific context. They are used to help organizations and individuals understand the skills, behaviors and tasks required to make meaningful contributions while understanding what capabilities are needed to build new capabilities.

You can learn more about our Open Competency Models work here.

We are also researching an Open Competency Model for Customer Success. You can contribute here.
