The CQI Quality Competence Framework
The CQI have developed a quality competency framework. The framework defines relevant and up-to-date competencies applicable to quality professionals working at all levels and across all sectors. It captures the expanding scope of quality management (such as ethics, sustainability and security) and external forces (such as globalisation).
The competencies are described in terms of knowledge and experience, covering both quality management and leadership behaviours, with four maturity levels, taking people from learner to leader/expert. Access will be via the CQI web site and members will be able to conduct a self-assessment to understand their current level of competency and plan their career and personal development accordingly.
As a company member you will be able to use the CQI competency set to inform your own development approach, using the framework as a basis for role definition, recruitment, and on-going assessment and development of staff.
