National Occupational Standards help you identify the activities that must be carried out to achieve your strategic objectives and plan the numbers of personnel and the competences they need to carry out these activities.
  1. Clearly establish the strategic objectives your team has to meet. Ensure these are SMART - Specific, Measurable, Agreed, Realistic and Time-bound.


  2. Identify from the National Occupational Standards which activities must be carried out in order to meet these objectives.


  3. Estimate the number of people required to carry out each of these activities.


  4. Identify the personnel available and the competences they have.


  5. Allocate activities fairly to individuals on the basis of their competence, capacity and opportunities for development


  6. Where personnel and/or their competences are inadequate to carry all the activities to achieve your strategic objectives, make the case for the recruitment of additional personnel or the development of additional competences within the existing team.


  7. Where you are unable to obtain adequate numbers of personnel and/or their competences, renegotiate your strategic objectives so that they are achievable.
