Abstract
In today’s dynamic labor market, project-based organizations face the challenge of effectively aligning project demands with the competencies of employees or external facilitators. This thesis explores the role of competency mapping in enhancing project allocation processes, focusing on atrain, a company managing diverse Human Resources (HR) projects. While existing competency mapping frameworks are abundant, they often lack the specificity required for project-based organizations with unique and dynamic needs.
Using a Structured Literature Review (SLR), this study examines competency mapping steps, methods, and practical suggestions to tailor competency frameworks for atrain’s nine distinct project profiles. The results section synthesizes insights to address gaps in aligning competencies with project demands, offering actionable applications for developing flexible and dynamic competency frameworks. Key findings emphasize the importance of iterative validation, project specific KSAO analysis, and the integration of computational tools for scalability.
This thesis contributes to both theory and practice by proposing a structured yet adaptable approach to competency mapping for project-based organizations. The developed summary plan aims to optimize project allocation, ensuring facilitators are matched with roles that maximize their potential, ultimately enhancing project outcomes and organizational efficiency. The study also identifies limitations in current research and suggests future directions, including empirical validation of the summary plan and exploring competency mapping across other industries.
