Strategically Close Competency Gaps. Provide Targeted Upskilling. 

Competency modeling is a powerful tool that provides learning and development (L&D) professionals with a data-driven foundation to inform key strategic talent management processes, such as personalized individual or team development plans, targeted upskilling and even succession planning.
