IsDB developed its first competency model in 2012, comprising core, leadership and technical competencies. The model was developed in alignment with the Bank’s strategy, operating model and culture at that time and with extensive stakeholder input. Following changes in the Bank’s strategy, structure and organizational priorities, the Bank later adopted a research-based competency model derived from Korn Ferry Leadership Architect. The current model includes five core competencies and four leadership competencies selected from the broader Korn Ferry competency library and validated with internal stakeholders.
