1 The DNA of High Performance How Competencies Drive Success Barbara Bowes, FCHRP, CMC, M.Ed., CCP Career Partners International Winnipeg Researchers as early as the industrial age have strived vigorously to identify and define that ever elusive link between employee productivity and organizational performance. In fact, it wasn t until 1973 when a proven productivity - performance link was finally identified and named. 1 This was accomplished by David McClelland, a Harvard University professor who created and applied what he referred to as a competency model to successfully distinguish superior from average performers. McClelland s competency model and theory was an instant success and was immediately applied to the US Navy. As one might expect, large manufacturing companies such as General Electric and Edison 1 Competency Frameworks 2012: Are they really being used effectively? A White Paper by Silent Edge, Engineering were also focusing on how to create a competitive edge and quickly sought out McClelland s competency model to help distinguish their high performers. By 1994, McClelland and his team were consulting and working with L Oreal, the world s largest beauty and cosmetic company. On this assignment, McClelland applied his model to identify key competencies for the recruitment and selection of high performing sales people. His research definitively demonstrated that role specific, objective measures based on competencies resulted in the success of L Oreal s sales professionals achieving their quota in the very first year 85% of the time. 2 Today, some forty years later, the use of competencies in some capacity or other has become 2 Ibid Executive Summary Competencies, whether enterprisewide or job specific, represent the genetic backbone for high performing organizations. From recruitment and selection to development and succession planning, a strategic approach to talent management grounded in competencies designed specifically for your organization can have a measurable impact on business results! To provide insight into the importance using competencies, Career Partners International, one of the largest talent management solution providers in the world, recently hosted a webinar entitled The DNA of High Performance How Competencies Drive Success.

2 more popular within all types of organizations. In fact, a recent Career Partners International survey of nearly 1000 individuals revealed that approximately 63% of respondents are currently utilizing competencies either moderately and/or extensively in their organizations. Having the capability to determine high performers from average performers is even more important for organizations in today s global economy where cultural sensitivity, resourcefulness, agility and good decision making is critical. Therefore, the goal for any organization is to strive not only to outperform their competitors in real time, but to outperform them for extended periods of time. According to the Institute for Corporate Productivity (i4cp), a leading research and memberbased think tank, research and benchmarking involves identifying the Human Capital practices used by highperformance organizations, those that outperform their competitors in revenue growth, market share, profitability and customer satisfaction. 3 As i4cp states, We want to learn from the best, not just use the average or the most popular methods! While outperforming a competitor is certainly a desired goal, the question most individuals might be asking is, how do high performing organizations accomplish such sustained success through applying a competency model? The answer lies in understanding the power of competencies, how to create competency models, and how to integrate competencies throughout the entire talent management spectrum. So, where does one begin? 3 i4cp, High Performance Organizations. Let s start with a simple definition of a competency. In The Talent Management Handbook 4, Lance Berger (author and editor) defines a competency as a reliable, measureable, enduring characteristic of a person that causes and statistically predicts a level of performance. A common example of a competency that s found in most organizations is the achievement orientation competency. Berger defines this as: Targets and achieves results, overcomes obstacles, accepts responsibility, establishes standards and responsibilities, creates a result oriented environment and follows through on actions. 5 However, what s extremely important in the identification process is to identify those organizational competencies that are proven to drive performance and produce results. 4 Berger, Lance A. & Dorothy R. (2004) The Talent Management Handbook. New York, NY: The McGraw-Hill Companies. 5 Ibid. All Rights Reserved. 2
3 For instance, in researching organizations that sustained success for 25 years or more, Berger found seven key factors that led to longer term organizational success. These included elements such as developing a performanceoriented culture and/or ensuring high employee satisfaction. However, the most critical factor for sustainable success was the institutionalization of competencies in both employee selection and in performance management. Our recent Career Partners International survey suggests that most participants are indeed seeing the value of applying competencies throughout their talent management system and seem to be on top of it as noted in the following poll results where individuals selected all options that apply to their organization. At the same time, Career Partner International consultants have also encountered situations where inexperienced managers fail to identify, connect and leverage their competency drivers for high performance thus losing the value of a competency model they may have developed. When this occurs, the competency approach may have little or no proven relevance to organizational success and sustainability. What then might a typical competency driver be? We turn once again to the Institute for Corporate Productivity s (i4cp) survey research which includes over 500+ organizations, many of which are Fortune 500 companies. I4cp s 2011 research identified five key competencies necessary for leaders to be successful in today s global economy. 6 These included: Critical Thinking - problem solving, decision making 6 i4cp, Leadership Competencies: Interactive Data, and strategic and creative thinking Leadership - creative vision, enrolling and empowering others as the top two competencies Strategy Execution, Leading and Managing the Next Generation of Talent and Leading Change were also identified as priorities. With succession planning and the development and quality of upcoming leaders being on the forefront of our minds, it s disconcerting to also learn through i4cp s 2011 research that those very skills needed for future success are considered the most lacking in the next generation of leaders. The Career Partners International poll of June 2013 reinforced the i4cp research results of competencies that are All Rights Reserved. 3
4 lacking in future leaders as noted in the poll results below where individuals selected all options that apply to their organization. Since the next generation of leaders will hold responsibility for driving success in the future, the message to organizations is loud and clear; be sure to create an executive development program that guarantees a quality supply of new leaders. But, how does one go about identifying their corporate competencies, their particular business drivers? Typically, there are four fairly straightforward approaches. For instance, a customized approach, which typically is conducted with the assistance of an external consultant, could include interviewing a selected group of superior performers to identify the key drivers of success. The methodology might also include an internal panel of incumbent experts or a review of critical incident reports. A second popular strategy is to utilize tools considered off the shelf which can be applied to any organization. This typically includes sets of cards with competency definitions, quick and easy downloads or special assessment tools offered by various competency consulting firms. A third methodology is to simply recycle the various competency dictionaries publicly available on the internet, selecting the competencies that are similar and applying them to the organization. While this may be the easiest to accomplish, it is usually the least effective methodology. Finally, as noted in the Career Partners International poll, many organizations are using a combination of all four methodologies. For instance, they may undertake a job analysis, identify the competencies and then adapt a definition from their research rather than creating their own. However, no matter which strategy is selected to identify the competencies and develop unique definitions, in all cases the data must be confirmed for reliability and include only those Talent Management & Competencies In the view of Career Partners International, time and research has proven that sustained success goes beyond the mere application of competencies to simply employee selection and performance management. In fact, our talent management model recommends the application of competencies to all aspects of talent management. In other words, we see the importance of competencies being applied to and integrated with talent acquisition, employee development, and employee engagement as shown in our model below. All Rights Reserved. 4
5 competencies that really matter to the success of an organization. From this point on, the next step is to create a competency model for your organization. This model is a collection of the competencies that all together define what successful performance looks like in your organization. The statements are then arranged in a hierarchical order from simple to complex. One key benefit of a competency model is that it can demonstrate a direct link to business strategies and enable organizations to identify their current and future state with respect to the supply and demand of internal staff resources. This then enables management to link competencies with all of the talent management requirements including recruitment and selection, assessment, training and development, succession planning and performance management. As a result of the complexity of the process and for the greatest results on long-term success, it is highly recommended that companies work with external professionals who possess proven expertise in this arena. While identifying competencies, developing competency models and linking them to the business strategy are key to long-term success, the sustained and institutionalized application of competencies for recruitment, selection and performance management have been proven to bring about sustained success. As a result, organizations will now need effective recruitment and selection tools with which to identify high performers who fit the identified driver competencies. So, how do successful organizations go about this task? The US-based firm of h.h. gregg, a leading and fast growing retailer of home appliances and consumer electronics, is a prime example of the success a competency model accompanied by effective assessment tools can bring to an organization within a relatively short timeframe. With a strategic business plan focusing on exponential growth, h.h. gregg needed to move away from a transactional approach to its human resource strategies and build a recruitment and selection capability and process that would ensure the attraction of high performing individuals. The h.h. gregg competency journey, led by Charles Young, Chief Human Resource Officer, began by working with Mark McNulty of HR Dimensions/Career Partners International - Indianapolis. McNulty researched current processes and highlighted deficiencies that needed to be overcome. Next, 16 top corporate officers were interviewed and the future corporate culture defined. The key competencies required to sustain this desired culture were discussed and agreed upon by the senior leadership team. The result was the identification of nine specific competencies, complete with development of the unique h.h. gregg specific definitions for each. The next step in the h.h. gregg journey was to develop an assessment center, a process to assess all director and officer candidates for upcoming roles within the organization. A special All Rights Reserved. 5
6 job order guide was developed to ensure process consistency since different managers engaged in the various interviews. Proprietary software, producing behavioral interview guides, was developed to structure and standardize the recruitment and selection process. A very comprehensive evaluation process was then established. This process includes cognitive, behavioral/leadership and conflict resolution style assessments, a behavioral interview by a team of experts, a business simulation and role play. Finally the assessment scoring reports enabled a compilation of management and consultant views so the company could make more informed final decisions. Over two years into the implementation of its competency modeling project, h.h. gregg is experiencing excellent results. The selected competencies are now driving business growth; the recruitment and selection process has much more rigor and there are multiple data points facilitating objective and better hiring decisions. As Charlie Young, Chief Human Resource Officer of h.h. gregg, states, The competency project has successfully moved us away from a transactional approach to a truly integrated talent management approach that is already bringing significant benefits to the company. While David McClelland, the former professor at Harvard University initially demonstrated the use of competencies, today s research and corporations such as h.h.gregg continue to confirm that competencies are indeed the DNA of high performance and long term, sustained success.
