Meaningful Competence™

A revolutionary approach for employees ready to enhance their careers and for companies wanting engaged employees.

The Challenge

Employees want to be recognized for the real value they bring to a company. How do they get the company to see that real value?

Companies want employees who bring real value to a company, not just those who are excellent at self-promotion.

How do employees make their real value visible and increase that real value to benefit themselves and the company they work for?

Meaningful Competence™

The Meaningful Competence strategy develops an employee's ability to own and improve their career. As employees use the Meaningful Competence Two Tools and Strategy approach, they better understand how to bring value to an organization and make that value visible.

The tools of the Meaningful Competency strategy allow employees and companies to develop shared expectations and agree when those expectations are met. The tools go much further in providing structure for the employee and supervisor to design and implement improvement strategies throughout the employee's career that address the specific issues limiting success.

When teams develop Meaningful Competence, the organization benefits from talent agility.
