Developing and Implementing a Core Competence-Based Strategy

by Ian S. Hayes

In our personal lives, we all tend to gravitate toward roles and responsibilities that make use of our strongest skills. The family member with the best cooking ability usually prepares the meals. The person with a head for finances balances the checkbook and pays the bills. Every individual is naturally adept in some area, and these skills form our core competencies. On a formal level, we focus on these competencies by seeking an education or pursuing a career in a particular field. But we also informally make use of others' core competencies on a daily basis when we go to the dry cleaners, call the plumber, or bring our car in for repairs.
