The Competency Balance Method (CBM) enables the identification and organization of knowledge, skills, and social competencies acquired at different times and places (e.g., at work, in courses, at school). Using CBM, it is also possible to determine a person’s predispositions and interests in relation to a set goal. This provides a complete picture of their potential based on experience, as well as possible directions for further learning.
The Competency Balance Method is useful when working with people in various life situations — from those who need a broad identification of their competencies to individuals seeking a specific job or promotion. Meet our heroes who have benefited from the Competency Balance Method.
People using the Method should possess a certain set of competencies to effectively support the client. A career advisor should motivate the individual and appropriately present the benefits of undergoing the competency balance process. This is often a lengthy process that requires significant commitment from the client.
