To those interested here is the original site: Management Charter
Initiative's competencies are available at
http://www.bbi.co.uk/mci/standards/index.html where they can be downloaded
(for personal use) or ordered for professional use..
For 6 years now, we have been using managerial competencies developped in
house to train, select and assess (in the course of annual interviews)
front line managers (foremen, supervisors). My company produces steel flat
products (for car bodies, buildings, and cans).
Using compentencies referentials has helped us a lot. It gave people
involved (trainees and trainers, interviewers and interviewees alike) a
sense of fairness and stability in managing front line supervisors.
Moreover we have carreer committees in which decisons on raises and
promotions for all supervisors in a department are prepared. This gives
everyone a common language to work with.
It is true that developping compentencies referentials takes time. They
need revising every three or four years. But overall we tend to think the
effort has been worthwhile.
