Who is competent?Being competent is within relevance and timing
Four young men have been called upon to journey to a destination where the great results would be found. They were leftwith an ancient map to decipher. One of the men was great at this. He gave meaning to the map and they embarked ontheir journey. The journey required that they travel through various means which will be presented to them at the differentphases of their journey.
At the start of the journey, the four young men started off on foot. They got to a point where a car will be driven through anarrow bridge to the other side. Among the four skilled men, just one of them could drive a car. He had the comfort of theseat in front of the wheel while only two could squeeze themselves into the seat beside him.
They drove through the narrow bridge until they came to the end of the bridge. At the end of the bridge, only a horse couldbe used in traveling through the tough terrain. The horse could only take two at a time. Just one of them could ride a horse.There was room for only one extra traveler.
Based on the interpretations of the ancient map, they will travel through water to reach their final destination. The mostsuited was the young man who knew about water. The competent horse rider and the swimmer embarked on the journeyleaving the other behind.
At the bank of the river, it was obvious that the swimmer was only going to make the journey to the great result due to theabsence of a boat. The strong tides of the water was also going to prevent him from supporting his fellow traveler. Hesimply jumped into the flowing tide and moved with it to the great result.

Fonga is expanding operations into the sub-Saharan and Southern Africa markets within the next 8 months. This is the current reality of Fonga. The company needs to determine its level of preparedness from many perspectives inclusive of the competency of its pool of workforce.
