Petro-Tech: Competency Development - A Career Imperative and Not Just the Latest HR Idea
The development of professional personnel in a cost-effective and timely manner is essential to business success in the global Oil and Gas industry.

The basic requirement therefore is a process for identifying and defining in a quantifiable way the competencies required by an individual in order to perform the job-related tasks. Competency can refer to Knowledge, Skill and Attitude, all of which can be part of the overall task performance: knowing what to do (knowledge), being able to do it (skill) and understanding the need for application of the skill (attitude).
The big question is – “how do you make such a system practical, sustainable and valid”.
