First, competency modeling is an important innovation in that it is a
way to get organizations to pay attention to job-related information and
employee skills in the management of employees. In fact, a key difference
between job analysis and competency modeling may be that executives
pay more attention to competency modeling. In that sense, competency
modeling is a way to get job analysis into the mainstream of employee
management decisions. Competency modeling could be considered the
“Trojan Horse” for job analysis.
