Forms a part of a larger project aimed at developing a framework ofmanagerial competence applicable to top teams in small - tomedium-sized enterprises in Northern Ireland. Reports on aninvestigation into the development of a process of"translation", whereby cross-company competence frameworkscould be transformed into company-specific frame-works. A systematic,ten-step translation process emerged, involving drawing out reactionsto, and checking understanding of the generalizable frameworks,modifying framework items through additions, deletions, aggregation,disaggregation, and changes to the small print; identifying priorities;drawing out examples from practice; distinguishing actual from ideal;introducing a time dimension; challenging underlying reasoning andimplications; and finally, checking the fit of the adapted frameworks.The developed translation process maintained the integrity of thegeneralizable frameworks while enabling full account to be taken ofspecific company differences. The process also served as a means ofidentifying individual team, and organization development issues, andlaid the ground for the introduction of competence-based managementdevelopment initiatives.
