One of the goals of the AMCF was to develop a tool for use in Canadian communities of all sizes, types, AM maturity levels, competency management maturity levels, and staffing configurations. Throughout the Web Portal we highlight areas where processes will vary depending on these different organizational scales. We also identify when different activities can be useful at these different scales. Suitable process options and competency management program activities are identified for:

Small / New to AM Communities (“S/N”):

Communities with a small population and/or a limited infrastructure base and/or are new to the practice of AM and/or are new to competency management and/or do not yet have any staff whose jobs are primarily AM-related.

Mid-Sized / Developing AM Communities (“M/D”):

Communities with a mid-sized population and/or a mid-sized infrastructure base and/or are developing AM practices and/or are progressing competency management and/or have a single staff-member whose job is primarily AM-related.

Large / Mature AM Communities (“L/M”):

Communities with a larger population and/or a large and complex infrastructure base and/or a mature AM practice and/or a mature competency management program and/or one or more teams or departments dedicated to AM.
