Frequently Asked Questions
What are core competencies in a business context?
Core competencies are strategic success factors that provide a company with a competitive advantage. They are unique combinations of skills and technologies that are difficult for competitors to imitate.
What is the difference between a business process and a core process?
A business process is any sequence of activities. A core process, however, is essential for delivering the value proposition to the customer and is directly linked to the company's core competencies.
How are core competencies translated into operations?
Strategic goals are broken down into operational activities by aligning organizational configurations and managerial functions to support and leverage the identified core competencies through optimized core processes.
What role do professional skills play in this framework?
Professional skills are the building blocks of core competencies. The expertise of employees is vital for executing core processes effectively and maintaining the company's strategic edge.
