Separate Job, Role, and Person
Distinguish work activities, worker requirements, and personal characteristics when gathering competency evidence.
Principle: Keep the work, the capability, and the person signal separate until the pattern is clear. The Move Create three evidence columns: job/work requirement, worker requirement, and observable behavior. Put each stakeholder note in one column before drafting the competency label. Why It Works Competency models often become vague because they compress different evidence types too early. O*NET gives you a taxonomy for slowing that compression down. Practice Lens A strong model can trace a competency to the job situation it matters in and the behavior that proves it.
