Competence/Credibility

Competence and credibility are similar. In a world that moves faster every day, and in a world that needs everything to get easier and to take less time, it is getting harder to determine someone’s competence for the task to be done. “Competence” has been defined as having knowledge, skills and experience on a task or topic. More tangibly, these aspects can be described as having evidence of: outputs (pictures and words), interactions (having spoken to or otherwise interacted with others), and stories (what other people say about you and the topic). And if competency is established, credibility should follow.
