Technical competency frameworks for 400+ professionals at Thales
Designed bespoke competency frameworks for bid management, project management and PMO functions, all mapped to APM and IPMA standards. Selected through competitive tender on the strength of our framework expertise.

The Brief
One business, three professions, two global standards
Thales' UK community of bid managers, project managers and PMO professionals runs into the hundreds. The challenge was to define technical competence frameworks that reflected the realities of the Thales business while integrating cleanly with the APM and IPMA standards.
After a rigorous market engagement and tender process, Thales selected our team for our track record in bespoke framework development and assessment expertise.
Our Approach
Workshops, frameworks, mapping, sign-off.

The Outcome
Frameworks that hold their own internationally
Thales now runs a competence development programme aligned to both UK and international benchmarks, built around its actual business. The frameworks underpin assessment, development planning and recruitment for over 400 professionals across three distinct functions.
Because Thales' own people defined the competences in workshop, every assessed professional recognises themselves in the framework they are measured against.
