Connecting individual and organizational competencies
Organizations often pursue competency-based management techniques in efforts to understand and secure a competitive advantage within the markets which they serve. The competency assessments which are initiated by such organizations will only be useful if the definition and effective application of the underlying elements of these competencies (i.e., its ontology) are sufficiently robust.
A guiding principle for such organizations is suggested by the Software Engineering Institute's value proposition for the CMMI:
The quality of a product is largely determined by the capability of the process which is designed to produce it, and the maturity of the organization in implementing that process.
