I was reading an article discussing the use of competency models to target training needs; in this article one of the statements caught my attention that I wanted to elborate on: " ...once the enterprise has defined what it needs for performance in a challening business environment, the logical next step is to define the gaps and then determine how to align human resources with these targets." This article continues to talk about how models help companies understand and focus on the key factors that drive performance.

Pondering of this statement caught my attention because I truly believe in this concept of targeting the loss of performance after declaring the primary goal of what needs to be incorporated into the system. Once you set a primary goal then its best to go through each department or staff and figure what training could be conducted to enhance performance.
