Having worked with many competency models in the past I've always been sceptical about their effectiveness. Your article adds some rigour to my tacit understanding. Very useful Tom!
Thanks for your articles - I enjoy reading them and then reading even further. Sensemaking theory may add insight into why competency systems are adopted, believed, and persist, and may also provide insight into how to improve them. K-12 competency learning frameworks are certainly underresearched; however, some research offers insight into adult instructor behaviors and framework adoption. I would be curious to hear about what you've seen and read that intersects K-12 ID and Adult ID design and structure.
Great breakdown and so true that over complicated competency models are slow, expensive and ineffective.
Your sales team example made me chuckle as the first thing we were taught about training when I learned decades ago, was to verify that any issue was a training issue.
