The implementation process may be familiar to you. It mirrors other Asset Management practices and is based on the Deming Cycle, a well-known best practice iterative process used in the design, management, and quality improvement fields.
The AMCF Implementation process contains a slight detour from the typical Plan-Do-Study-Act process in Step 2, where the emphasis is on customizing the generic approach found in the AMCF for your organization’s specific needs, prior to starting Competency Management Program planning.
Remember that this is a long-term, iterative process of continuous improvement. It is going to be developed, delivered, and refined over many months and years. There are no quick fixes. Building a new culture in an organization is a significant undertaking, and one that is never truly finished. Everyone in your organization will need to put the time in. You may not see immediate results. But a fully-aligned organization that is truly delivering sustainable services, financially, environmentally, socially, and economically, is a goal worth the effort.
