TMA Competency Manager > 50 fully developed competencies

The TMA Competency Manager is a practical solution for competency management. It consists of 50 competencies. You can use the extended TMA Competency Library or implement your own model within the TMA Method. Click here to download the list of TMA competencies. You can indicate which competencies you would like to have assessed at which levels on this document and email it to us. We will then tailor-make a TMA competency management system for you.

Within the TMA Competency Model you can choose which competencies are relevant to a certain position. You can select behavioral examples that are relevant to the position at stake. If you wish, you can add behavioral examples. We advise that you select between three and seven examples for every competency. Behavioral examples can be selected on different levels, depending on the position

The TMA Competency Library can be tailor-made to suit your demands; every competency contains:

• Behavioral examples at general, operational, strategic and tactical level;
• Explanation of the competency; background and additional information;
• STAR-based interview questions. On the basis of these questions you can attain a reliable view on a candidate by asking about Situation, Task, Action, and Results;
• Development activities: suggestions for candidates to develop certain competencies on their own without guidance from a superior or coach;
• Coaching advice: advice for the coach or superior to help develop a candidate’s competency;
• Relationship to a person’s personality (the possibility of developing a competency): The extent in which a competency can be developed depends on a person’s personality. In order to review a candidate’s potential for development you can use the TMA Talent Analysis. Someone’s potential does not only indicate to what extent s/he is competent in relation to a position or environment; it also provides information on the areas in which development is more or less likely to succeed.

The TMA Competency Model currently consists of the following competencies:
