Research Work under the supervision and co-creation with Dr.Sushil and Rajan Johreé has led to the creation of a Competency Maturity Model that is not static and short term. With businesses changing by the minute, Competencies that need to be identified for preservation, acquisition, elimination or development have assumed strategic importance. Whether the responsibility is of Business Managers, Operations Managers or Human Resources Department, the ultimate goal of Competency Assessments is building a pipeline for steady supply of talent into the Organization System. At the individual's level it implies discovering the active and latent competencies that are of value in the business context of the organization. This needs a clear and precise understanding of the Competency Models. Discovering the Giant and the Genius in Each of Us is a unique program at the GIFT School of Social Change that builds upon the Flexible Competencies Maturity Model (FCMM). Organizations considering Competency based Organization Development (OD) or have already initiated the process of leveraging Competencies will find the Certification Process an enriching experience.

The objective of the FCMM Certification Process is to let participants understand the theory and application of competency assessment methodologies, pre-assessment preparation, post assessment activities and systemic linkage with other business processes especially Human Resources. Since business results are always organization specific, the expression of competencies differs from organization to organization. Barring the core concepts, tutorials are therefore customized to the context of the client organization. On successful completion of tutorials and an examination process this School awards a Level 1 Certificate. Currently, the certification process leads up to Level 5.

The following candidates have been certified Level 1 through the process conducted at Godrej and Boyce, Mumbai (Batch 105).
