Putting Competency Development on the Map
Project Overview
Project Overview
Helping the Competency Development Team at Network Rail to understand and address their identity and standing within the community they serve.
Capacity Planning is going through a period of significant change, and are dependent on planner competencies growing and changing in Control Period 5. The Competency Development Team is responsible for driving and sustaining the required improvements.
However, the team was suffering from a negative perception among the community they serve, and even within their own team. They had little sense of identity or purpose, and were under-performing as a result.
