It’s crucial to take an innovative approach, develop the best and next practices for continually updating knowledge, sharpening skills, developing creativity, and improving professional capability maturity.
Talent competency is the lens through which people managers can assess talent in a strategic, creative, and structural way. Competency development requires character, determination, discipline, dedication and practice in the present and a continuum.
Professional understanding fluency: We are what we think of. As knowledge professionals, people need to keep cultivating their thinking skills, deepen their understanding of issues for becoming part of solutions. In reality, each of us has a defined cognitive threshold, an upper limit to the level of complexity that we can handle at any one time, on any one topic. Thus, each cognitive mind has a perceptual difference, the out-of-date perception is like the time glue that keeps the world still. How effective people can articulate and solve problems depend on their level of understanding and professional competency.
The digital fit starts with the mind fit; there is a certain set of thinking techniques such as critical thinking skills, innovativeness, systems thinking methodology, decision-making logic which can be trained to a certain degree. However, it depends on each individual to practice and improve. The most important capability of the cognitive mind is the willingness and ability to practice independent thinking, seek out fresh knowledge, gain an in-depth understanding of problems and people, combine different thought processes to gather, refine and reconstruct a mass of information to improve analysis skills, fill out cognitive blind spots, and increase integral cognitive competency.
Professional capability suitability: One of the most crucial challenges of talent management is to put the right people with fitting professional competencies to solve right problems smoothly. Every professional has their own journey of growth either personally or professionally based on their own perception, talent, skills, life experience, training, and refinement. Professional capability suitability can be assessed by understanding people’s natural talent, the skills accumulated based on their professional experiences, the attitude to learn and grow, the motivation to make accomplishments, and process to do the work, etc.
With fast-paced changes, business leaders and professionals need to be able to think, learn new knowledge, and relate what they have known in the past to the new application for improving problem-solving intelligence. From linear skills to suitable professional capabilities to integral competency, people become more fluent, intuitive and productive in what they are doing, and they are more confident to keep improving their skill sets and build differentiated professional competency.
To identify where the gaps in performance lie, and keep sharpening professional competency, it’s important to make an objective assessment of the professional capability portfolio, including the importance of each capability to professional development, coherence, uniqueness, consistency, and different weighting may be applied to shaping core professional competency to make high achievement. The "development, enhancement, and coaching" cycle of professional capability improvement focuses on shaping fitting, growth mindset, capturing both the individual's development needs and organizational strategic perspectives, taking logical steps to achieve capability based goals smoothly.
The reality is that many individuals may practice a profession for many years but have not matured their practices to achieve high professionalism. It’s crucial to take an innovative approach, develop the best and next practices for continually updating knowledge, sharpening skills, developing creativity, and improving professional capability maturity. The capability maturity assessment is based on the scale and scope of problems you can solve, and the degree of impact you can make on your surroundings, organizations, or our society.
