The completion date for the HR Review has been extended to the 30th September 2012 to incorporate the findings of a number of global research projects currently in progress, these include:

• HR Competency Study – release of the sixth round results of a global HR study conducted by Dave Ulrich and Wayne Brockbank of the University of Michigan
• HR Capability framework review – a desk audit and literature review of HR competency frameworks globally including comparative models from US/UK institutes, other commercial and academic frameworks and current research on the topic

These projects will provide the opportunity to pull together a broader perspective around global HR competencies, which in turn should add significant value to the final outcomes of the review.

Feedback should be provided by no later than COB Friday 23 March 2012.

Innovation and Business Skills Australia (IBSA) has contracted Ability Associates Australia to undertake the review of the Project Management qualifications and units of competency within the Business Services Training Package.

The review aims to identify whether the qualifications and units of competency sufficiently address industry’s requirements. The project involves research, interviews and consultation with key stakeholders regarding the structure, demand and take up of the suite of qualifications.

A Discussion Paper will be available on the IBSA website in February 2012 with consultations taking place nationally from that date and continuing throughout the life of the project. The review is scheduled for completion by 30 June 2012.

 http://www.ibsa.org.au/news-and-projects/current-projects/12-19.aspx

The major changes include the revised Customer Contact units of competency and qualifications.
• Certificate II in Customer Contact (BSB20211)
• Certificate III in Customer Contact (BSB30211)
• Certificate IV in Customer Contact (BSB40311)
• Diploma of Customer Contact (BSB50311)

The qualifications have been reviewed to better address the dynamics of the industry including multi-channel communication, data interrogation, compliance requirements, achieving KPIs, scheduling requirements, and inbound and outbound customer contact.

Greater flexibility has been provided in the qualifications by reducing the number of core units and providing a larger choice of elective units. One of the major changes is the removal of the Advanced Diploma of Customer Contact which was due to the lack of industry demand and uptake of the qualification.

Innovation and Business Skills Australia (IBSA) has contracted Ability Associates Australia to undertake the review of the Project Management qualifications and units of competency within the Business Services Training Package. The qualifications include:
 
§  BSB41507 Certificate IV in Project Management
§  BSB51407 Diploma of Project Management
§  BSB60707 Advanced Diploma of Project Management.
 
A Discussion Paper will be available on the IBSA website in February 2012 with consultations taking place nationally from that date and continuing throughout the life of the project.  The review is scheduled for completion by 30 June 2012.
