Purpose
The purpose of this document is to support organisations in the built environment to plan, manage and demonstrate the collective and individual competences needed in a consistent, transparent and proportionate manner. The document is intended to help organisations join up organisational assurance with individual competence frameworks, recognising that competence outcomes depend on both capable individuals and the organisational conditions that enable them to perform effectively. By providing practical guidance on how to implement the Industry Competence Committee Principles, this document aims to support confidence in organisational competence among regulators, clients, residents, insurers and other interested parties, while allowing flexibility in how competence is evidenced according to organisational size, structure and risk.
This work will be using the Industry Task and Finish Group on Organisational Capability Managing competence in the Built Environment) document as a seed document.
