HOW TO USE THE CARDS

1 Bring together a group of people each with a set of cards. For example: your team, other managers and/or clients
2 Each person chooses from the set an agreed number of cards (say 4-6) that they believe best identifies the capabilities needed for the role.
3 Group members then discuss the reasons behind their particular choices. For example:
> critical skills, knowledge and/or qualities required for the team and role
> capabilities required for future direction
of the role
4 Following the discussion, as a group, reach a consensus about the capabilities required.
> The true value of this process is the
conversation that results. It requires more than simply tallying the capabilities chosen most often.
> This is also an opportunity to determine
specific capabilities (i.e. specialist knowledge)
not captured by the cards.
5 Use the capabilities identified to create the selection criteria (aim for 4–6).
6 Use the Selection Options to put together a package that will select for the capabilities identified.
