Course Overview

People are essential to organizations. Organizational performance is dependent upon how people’s competences are used at work. Competence management and people development at the organizational, team, group and individual levels are required for organizations to be successful.

Competence management and people development are clearly linked together: people development is part of competence management and competent people will require development. These two constructs are inter-related and, in many ways, inseparable.

Applying planned and systematic processes for competence management and people development makes an important contribution to helping organizations improve their capabilities, meet their strategic direction and achieve intended results. Competence management has significant importance in enhancing the organization’s capabilities to create and deliver value.

The quality management principles underlying the ISO 9000 family of standards (of which the ISO 10001 to ISO 10019 family of standards forms a part) emphasize the importance of competent people and a culture that fosters growth and further development.

This document provides guidance to assist organizations and their personnel when addressing issues related to competence management and people development. It may be applied whenever guidance is required to interpret references to competent/developed people within the quality management systems, or any other management systems standard, e.g. risk management, environmental management.

The course combines the guidelines of ISO 10015:2019 Guidelines for competence management and people development; ISO 30401:2018 Knowledge management systems and ISO 10018: 2020  Guidelines on people engagement.

 

Target Audience: Personnel Development, Training, HR and Admin, other executives responsible for the competence development of their subordinates.
