Foreword

Chapter 1: AN INTRODUCTION TO WORK COMPLEXITY AND COMPETENCY: The nature of work is rapidly changing. We need to understand the factors which make a person competent

Chapter 2: VALUABLE WORK: Valuable work is described as workoutput. This is a key measure of competence

Chapter 3: BEING HAPPY AT WORK THROUGH MATCHING WORK TO COGNITIVE ABILITY: Happiness at work is a factor of being attuned to the complexity of a chosen lifestyle. The type of work a person will be most attuned to will be based on their experiences to that point in time

Chapter 4: ADULT WORK COMPLEXITY BANDS: Broad bands of work complexity can describe all the different types of work in the world today

Chapter 5: APTITUDES SUPPORTING COMPETENCY: Some physical, emotional and cognitive aptitudes are requirements for each type of work. Every individual's unique mix of aptitudes will influence their choice of work

Chapter 6: PRECURSOR COMPETENCIES: For every activity, the proven ability to be competent in one or more previous activities is needed

Chapter 7: SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE: Learning skills and gaining knowledge form a foundation for completing an activity

Chapter 8: BUSINESS WISDOM: Wisdom enables the expert use of skills and knowledge within a band of complexity

Chapter 9: VALUING THE USE OF A COMPETENCY: Being competent will only be shown if the person doing the task values the completion of the activity

Chapter 10: ORGANISATIONAL SUPPORT FOR COMPETENCY: Competence will only be achieved with the right support

Chapter 11 GENERIC COMPETENCIES FOR BUSINESS BANDS OF ROLE COMPLEXITY: Pulling the equation together.

Chapter 12: USING THE COMPETENCY EQUATION AND ALIGNED HUMAN RESOURCE PROCESSES TO MAKE A STRONGER, MORE PRODUCTIVE ORGANISATION: Having organisational policies which support the achievement of a competent workforce creates value for the organisation
