Align Your Strategy and Operational Plans to Core Competencies
Core competencies are the underpinnings of an organization’s skills
and the cornerstone of successful strategic execution. Core competencies
represent the fundamental knowledge, abilities, and expertise of an
organization. They are what make individuals and organizations unique.
Furthermore, your ability to understand and measure organizational core
competencies is a critical factor in reaching your desired goals.
Ask yourself these questions:
1. What skills and attributes do the
members of my organization need in order to accomplish their assigned
tasks? (Determine necessary skills and attributes for leaders,
managers, and staff.)
2. Does my organization possess the necessary competencies at each job level?
3. If not, how far off are we from possessing the necessary competencies?
4. When hiring new staff, how will we assure those individuals obtain the necessary skills and attributes?
5. When assessing the performance of current staff, how will we measure their capabilities against the required competencies?
6. Can we train our people to obtain the necessary competencies?
7. Overall, how will we go from where we are today to where we need to be in terms of core competencies?
8. Do we need to adjust our strategic goals to align with our existing competencies?
An organization’s core competencies rest in the people who will put their knowledge, abilities, and expertise to work. If leaders of the organization fail to understand how current core competencies relate to the organization’s future goals, strategic and operational plans may be seriously flawed. Only with a deep understanding of the competencies required to accomplish strategic goals can the organization implement successfully.

3) REslience
4) Encouragement
5) Self-awareness
6) Non-attachment
7) Financial knowhow
