The challenge for future research is to develop a competency model that identifies specific tasks and behaviors that manifest the competencies we have identified, describes the interrelationships among the competencies, and theorizes the antecedents and consequences of the competencies. Future research should also seek to refine the definitions of the constructs we have identified and the scales used to measure them. For managerial application, the competency model will also need to incorporate the MAMP organization's mission, strategy and culture. After development of a framework, the next step would be the examination of current practices against the proposed framework by training and development personnel.
