• Sommario/riassunto: Equips readers to understand, build, and implement competency models as a foundational and integrating element in talent management systems. Readers will understand how competency models have evolved to be the current best practice in defining criteria for all talent management applications such as selection interviews, promotion panels, assessment centers, job descriptions, and learning objectives. Specific guidance is provided in the steps needed to establish a sustainable model, with research results on universal competencies contained in most contemporary models. Also discussed are the challenges and issues in building and implementing models, such as the need for proof of efficiency and effectiveness, that is, reliable measures of competence and proof of validity. Competency models will be placed in the greater context of the complete talent management system needed to effectively recruit, select, orient, train, appraise, reward, motivate, and promote high-performing employees. The most popular competency applications of interviewing, assessment centers, survey-guided development, job modeling, and training ; criteria are specifically explored and explained. Finally recent case studies bring competencies to life in real organizational settings. Questions for reflection will help readers review and summarize important content in each chapter.

• Sommario/riassunto: This book presents peer-reviewed articles from the UrbanPromo International Conference on “Designing in disorder - Designing disorder. Reorganizing Urban Fragility” held from 5 to 8 November 2024 at Florence in Italy. It highlights the issue of land management and its transformations through the use of soft policies and soft power practices: informal tools that progressively complement the ordinary, more formal and constraining tools and processes of planning and design, allowing for a greater variety of possible outcomes, a reduction in time and an increase in the final quality of results. This book therefore reviews these experimental practices and explores how much of this modality can be the pathway for updating the discipline of spatial governance in Europe.
