The Benefits Of The Sfia Framework

 

The Skill Framework for the Information Age (SFIA) Framework has now become the accepted global common reference for skills and competency in the digital world. The SFIA framework EU provides a natural choice for organizations mapping skills and competency levels to generic profiles. (https://sfia-online.org/en/about-sfia/introduction-to-sfia-documentation)

Activities for managing and developing human capital can be supported by the SFIA framework. Industry-specific user instructions are compiled and made common for use by others. SFIA Framework can be used as a direction for evaluating abilities and competencies. Other characteristics of SFIA framework EU are as follows;

 

-      SFIA framework EU is non-prescriptive; rather than evaluating subjects based on formally supplied deliverables, it evaluates subjects based on corresponding axes of skills and competencies. SFIA recognizes that knowledge is important but it does not include specific knowledge within the framework nor does it define the detailed knowledge required. SFIA decides to actively promote bodies of knowledge that are developed by experts in the subjects and are well-known by the industry.

 

·         SFIA framework uses a comprehensive definition of ability. In contrast to its more conventional counterparts, SFIA evaluates proficiency based on qualities that are harder to quantify while still taking industry certifications into consideration. "Professional skills, behaviors or attributes, information, and qualifications and certifications" are taken into consideration. The Framework transcends the simple dichotomy of "qualified or unfit." Instead, the SFIA's evaluations result in plans for long-term talent improvement, expansion, and personal development.

SFIA has identified around 50 industry bodies of knowledge and has provided links to these from the SFIA website. This resource is updated regularly as new bodies of knowledge are identified

 

·         SFIA framework is purposely unrestricted and open-ended as it aims to reflect the most recent requirements of global companies through operational crowdsourcing. The SFIA framework is generally updated to accommodate what is a fast-moving and rapidly changing industry. The SFIA Foundation has built the mechanisms necessary to coordinate a global consultation and to efficiently manage framework updates and enable cost-effective translation into over 12 languages.

Based on these guidelines, SFIA is able to be adaptable and community-driven while also being universal and thorough, qualities that underlie many of the SFIA Framework's greatest benefits and advantages.
