Show Your Work

Competence, for knowledge work in the built environment, is assessed through pictures and words (outputs), behaviour (interactions with others), and references (stories people tell).

Competency framework assessments typically require a user to declare whether they are ‘competent’, by ranking themselves at some level or some categorisation.  This one liner, “identify your competence level”, is loaded with a lot of unsaid behind-the-scenes work.  The ability to define – and defend – a competence level is not something that is normally taught to us.

It's useful to have a reliable, intrinsic and painless way to record your daily growing applicable knowledge, skills and experience.
