Competency architecture

Okay kiddo, have you ever played with building blocks? Imagine that each of those blocks represents a skill or ability that someone needs to have in order to do their job really well.

Now, just like you can build all sorts of different things with your blocks - like a tower, a house, or a car - people can have different sets of skills and abilities that make them good at different jobs.

Competency architecture is the idea of figuring out what exact skills and abilities someone needs to have in order to be really good at a specific job. Think of it like building a blueprint or a recipe that tells you exactly what blocks you need to use and in what order to create something awesome.

This can be really helpful for companies and organizations because it helps them to make sure that they have the right people in the right jobs. By knowing exactly what skills and abilities are needed for a specific job, they can make sure that the people they hire or promote have those skills and can do the job well. It's like making sure that you have all the right blocks before you start building something - otherwise it might fall apart!

So, just like with your building blocks, competency architecture helps to make sure that things are built in a way that is strong, stable, and works really well.
