Gaps in Competency
The context and integration of the five knowledge areas are the basis for an assessment of gaps in the capabilities and growth opportunities for an aspiring legal project manager. In order to identify gaps in knowledge and to develop a custom professional development plan, those assessed would be rated across five levels of practice capability, comprising Uninformed, Aware, Knowledgeable, Competent, and Accomplished.
Each level includes a robust profile of the associated knowledge, skills and experience typically required. The inventory and taxonomy may serve as the basis for job descriptions, recruiting, professional development, and coaching, as well as offering a method of comparison among practitioners.
Here is an article that describes our work. Or follow along in this 6-part series to learn more.
