Competency Model Program to Broader Human Capital Strategies

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) awarded Kaptivate a 4.5 year contract to strengthen and modernize a broad Competency Model (CM) Program for the agency. After a six month assessment of the existing CM program involving stakeholder interviews and data analysis, Kaptivate will continue its work and begin implementing a series of its recommendations.

Competency Model

 

Overview

In 1974, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) emerged as an autonomous entity following its establishment by Congress. Its primary mandate involves safeguarding the secure utilization of radioactive substances for advantageous civilian objectives, all the while upholding the welfare of individuals and the surroundings. The NRC assumes the responsibility of overseeing commercial nuclear power facilities as well as various applications of nuclear materials, including their usage in fields like nuclear medicine. This oversight is executed through a framework of licensing, rigorous inspections, and the enforcement of stipulated regulations.


Solution

The NRC built a comprehensive Competency Model (CM) Program to identify the strengths and weaknesses of individual staff, and the overall workforce, in skill areas or behaviors. Kaptivate partnered with NRC to align the CM program to broader human capital strategies to ensure the program contributed to organizational relevance and resilience. Kaptivate streamlined the competency model development process to reduce the time required by NRC staff to contribute to the competency models. We created a two-pronged approach to model development.

  1. Talent Acquisition & Succession Planning

  2. Culture & Change Management 

  3. Staff Composition
