Agreed, John. We have to reduce the jargon and simplify the theory. A profile-based approach tries to do this by simply asking, “what things about a person in this job bring desired results?” This can include competencies, but is not limited to them. In addition, profiles don’t force a particular theory; you can simply move forward with a simple set of requirements and/or observations. For example, license requirements and number of hours of practice might suffice. Looking forward to your thoughts!
Thanks,
Mark
