To follow up on the previous entries, today we briefly mention three fundamental guiding principles to support strategic competence management:

1.  Focus on talent for the job at all levels, by building tools and processes that identify, reward and retain high performing individuals
2. Help individual employees know and focus on their strengths and where necessary, manage their limitations
3. The development of exceptional managers and leaders who can identify and develop talent and build employee engagement

 With these three principles in mind, it can be seen that competence management should be geared towards the understanding of the competencies of your employees and how to use this to your advantage when planning for development and talent grooming.
