ASSESSING THE JOB

THE CONTEXTUALISED COMPETENCY MAPPING (CCM)

Overview

The CCM is a web-based software system that can be used to determine the Stratified Systems Theory (SST) level of work reflected by a position, its cognitive and broader motivational and behavioural competency requirements, and the degree to which an individual or team meets those competency requirements.
Completed by job experts, the questionnaire enables identification of the competency requirements of a position. Job requirements are then linked to individual and team profiles for purposes of gap analysis and people development. The CCM is based on the Stratified Systems Theory (SST) of E Jaques, the Viable Systems Model (VSM) of S Beer, and S M Prinsloo's work on cognition, personality and motivation.
The CCM analyses:

• The SST / VSM level of work of the position
• The cognitive and broader competency requirements of the position
• The matching of people and job profiles

Applications

• Competency analysis
• Linking people to jobs
• Organisational transformation
• Job clarification and restructuring
• Succession planning
• People development
• Intellectual Capital Management

Advantages of using the CCM

• Categorises a job in terms of the levels of work as indicated by the SST and VSM
• Indicates the cognitive and broader competency requirements of the position
• Links people profiles to job requirements
• Allows an evaluation of the degree of job fit of both individuals and teams
• Optimises the effectiveness of job structuring and people placement initiatives
• Provides development guidelines

• Allows a presentation of the perceptions of various job experts regarding the competency requirements of a position
