The managerial competencies that reflect my current strengths are the following:  Communication  Interpersonal Skills  Problem Solving  Critical Thinking Operations Management is a critical component for any business entity because it entails careful management of processes to produce & develop products and services. Operations Management is a global oversight of not just the day to day operational processes but the overall health of a company/business. With my profession, I’ve been largely involve with operations specifically with Quality and Utilization Management. It was my goal to seek quality and maintain quality of the products and services we provide. One of the key components to a successful Operations Management is Quality Management/Quality Assurance. Quality is achieved through careful review of processes and finding efficient solutions to even the minutest task. This is what I enjoyed the most.

Our own history should be an indicator of our future path. Competencies can play a critical role in institutional viability, especially as institutions link them to skills needed in today’s workplace. It is important to develop of an effective competency framework to provide the opportunity for organizational and individual growth. To be effective in the development of workplace and managerial skills, they must reflect the current estimated needs of the organization. It is critical for management to identify the core competencies of the company, and ensure that the competencies required by managers are adequate and appropriate.
