Question

There are many recommended competencies for organization development consultants. Which of these do you see as mandatory or absolutely necessary? In which of these skills or knowledge areas do you feel you are more or less proficient?

Answer 1

Every business organization recommends some competencies for individual development. This includes,

• Good communication skills,
• Technical skills,
• Good decision-making skills,
• Managerial skills,
• Forecasting skills,
• Handling of clients,
• Raw material procurement techniques,
• Job sequencing techniques etc.

All the above skills/competencies are very much necessary for the organization.

However, when we look at our self, we might good at commutation skill, technical skill, which will ultimately helps to communicate with clients, managerial skill, job sequencing skills etc.

But when it comes to decision-making skill, some of the business man goes with wrong business strategies/decision which will lose the business. And some people achieve their goals. We are all lagging in decision-making skills whether it is for business or for personal life.
