Organizations that identify competencies critical to their business and skill their people accordingly gain a competitive advantage which others would find difficult to duplicate.

For high returns on investment, the use of competency management for acquisition, deployment, and development of talent has to be enterprise-driven and supported by management. Only a few organizations have successfully leveraged the business impact of competencies.
