The Professional Map is a career development tool that helps you identify training needs and to prepare for appraisals, career development and planning, job applications and progression.
At the heart of it you will find the competencies you need to succeed in the workplace, meet business goals and drive good customer outcomes.
Technical Expertise refers to the role-specific knowledge and skills you need to do your job, i.e. what you know.
Behaviours refer to the actions and attitudes you demonstrate in the way you make decisions and approach your work and working relationships, i.e. how you apply what you know.
Enablers refer to the awareness and understanding of aspects of your working environment that enable professional practice. For example, in order to behave within a regulated environment (behaviour) you need to know the regulations (enabler).
Behaviours and Enablers are universal and apply to everyone no matter the job they do whereas Technical Expertise is job specific.
