Over the past 40 years, competency modeling has evolved into an essential input tool for human resource and organizational development practices. Documentation of modeling methods, however, is often lacking. This white paper examines why documentation should be considered an essential element of all competency modeling projects and provides a documentation framework that adheres to professional and regulatory guidelines. Thorough and complete documentation reduces legal risk and increases organizational efficiency. Not having a technical report will not necessarily lead to doom in legal proceedings or mean dire organizational outcomes, but having complete documentation will go a long way toward reducing problems.
