Appendix E: Validation Instrument

Dear Sir / Madam,

It gives me a sense of immense pride to connect, interact with you as a part of my Ph.D Research project. I am glad to share that the objective of the study is to develop an authoritative list of Critical Success Factors and Roadblocks when an organization is adopting CM. The research method used requires responses to be gathered from domain experts , Consultants, CEOs, HR Heads and Line Heads who have sizeable experience or exposure to the roll-out of competency mapping and its integration with various HR processes.

I solicit your valuable time to enable my research by filling in the one page questionnaire enclosed. The questions involve rating of the statements pertaining to CSF and Roadblocks for CM implementation on the basis of your perception and experience. The instructions for answering the same are provided at the start of the two broad questions.

Needless to add your responses would be kept confidential and the responses would be analyzed in aggregate only. Furthermore, the findings of the research will be shared with all the respondents through mail.

Thanking you in anticipation,

Yours sincerely,

Implementation of Competency Mapping - Critical Factors of Success, Roadblocks, Challanges and Reasons for Failure

Some factors that may contribute to successful implementation of Competency Mapping as a practice in an organization are enumerated below. I would very much like to seek your opininon on how critical you think each of these is to that success. You may wish to score them on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being 'Not important at all' whereas 10 being 'The most important of all'. You may also use fractional rating, if you feel the need, e.g. giving a 7.5 for 3/4ths, 6.66 for 2/3rds etc.

Potential Critical Success Factor Statement Importance (1 to 10)

Monitoring of progress and evaluation of deliverables by a Steering Committee Logical breaking-up and customization of implementation phases into modules and blocks relevant to each participating business vertical Knowledge of Senior Management about Competency Mapping and understanding of what Competency Mapping orientation means Use of External Specialists / Consultants Openness to change in organizational working that is needed / will occur with Competency Mapping implementation Top Management support for the philosophy of Competency Mapping as also to its implementation project Announce and celebrate implementation milestone achievements regularly along the way Synchronization of Competency Mapping implementation project timelines with business cycles and annual book closure / appraisal cycles Upfront information to personnel about what Competency Mapping means, why it is being introduced and what it entails Let key personnel participate in designing and subsequent fine-tuning of the implementation Identify, nominate and empower implementation champion in each participating function Planning for and communicating positive project results early and along the way New competency mapping processes and workflows for each vertical should be designed to be compatible with existing operational processes and workflows therein Well-defined deliverables and milestones of implementation Management of expectations of stakeholders Synchronisation and coordination between HR and Line participants in implementation Imparting of overall orientation and training in Competency Mapping process thinking, vocabulary, tools and templates to all affected staff Formal decision of Senior Management to introduce Competency Mapping

- the overall roll-out Pitching-in and 'selling' of Competency Mapping concept to department heads to secure their buy-in Adoption of a standardized system for measuring, analysing, and reporting on implementation deliverables Prior organizational history of successful implementation of any intervention Communication of Competency Mapping benefits in business benefit / business impact terminology to department heads Project management approach to Competency Mapping Implementation including definition of stages, individual and team deliverables and corresponding timelines, and use of project management tools

Implementation of Competency Mapping - Critical Factors of Success, Roadblocks, Challanges and Reasons for Failure

Likewise, some factors may be roadblocks, challenges or may contribute to unsuccessful implementation of Competency Mapping as a practice in an organization. I would also like to seek your opinion on how severe an impact you think each of these has as well. As before, please score them on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being 'Not important at all' whereas 10 being 'The most important of all'. You may also use fractional rating, if you feel the need, e.g. giving a 7.5 for 3/4ths, 6.66 for 2/3rds etc.

Potential Roadblock or Challenge or Reason for Failure Statement Magnitude of Impact (1 to 10)

Inability of staff to adapt to change Unsatisfactory quality of staff allocated to Competency Mapping Lack of Dedicated Resources

Conflict / poor coordination due to Dual / Matrix (operational and project) reporting of line managers participating in Competency Mapping implementation

Conflict between / interference of organization's annual appraisal / financial year closing cycle with Competency Mapping implementation cycle Absence of strong recognition of need for Competency Mapping Lack of Senior Management knowledge about and understanding of what Competency Mapping means Lack of HR / Line Interdepartmental communication and collaboration

Apparently high voiced commitment of department heads to Competency Mapping implementation not backed up by actual resource / time commitment on ground by them Insufficient specific training to Line managers about Competency Mapping concept / Competency Mapping tools Competency Mapping implementation not given required weightage among participants' performance targets Inadequate Competency Mapping awareness percolation among staff Incomplete implementation due to losing will / direction mid-way Pressure of operational deliverable expectations from bosses of implementing managers Low organizational appetite for failures / delays

Pre-mature declaration of completion / Abandonment of Competency Mapping implementation due to weakening of organizational commitment Low level of expertise of participating managers Inadequate recognition of implementers' Competency Mapping implementation achievements in their annual appraisals Lack of flexible / adaptable methodology for process change upon Competency Mapping implementation Low Competency Mapping / implementation knowledge of HR Managers Deliverables produced at group meetings only Management resistance against calling in for outside professional expertise or against use of vendor's / paid tools Over-aggressive implementation time-line or over-ambitious expectation of speed of implementation by management Lack of formal definition of goals and objectives
