Draka Future Leaders Masterclass Programme Draka, an ex-Phillips subsidiary is a global cable manufacturing business that has recently grown through acquisition to a structure of 60 companies in 25 countries. In answer to Draka's needs, working in partnership with Draka's HR Director, CEO and Board, we designed and implemented the nomination, assessment process and delivery of the Masterclass 2001 – an 18 month modular programmes, covering all aspects of management education run at company locations around the world. The programme included business assignments, virtual classrooms, remote coaching and workshops with world-class academics. This quotation from Bert Smit, HR Director, summarises some of the other benefits of the programme – “Last month our General Manager in Spain received a major order that he could not fulfil locally. As a result of the Masterclass programme he phoned his colleague in Germany, a co-delegate on the programme, and they agreed the order would be fulfilled in Germany. I can tell you this would NEVER have happened before this programme. This alone has paid for the programme!” The client The assignment The approach

Given the fact that in this process senior management positions had to be considered, we suggested to define a common profile, also in order to create consistency throughout the organization. Furthermore, we used competencies that would be measurable against agreed standards, linked to the goals and objectives of UNESCO. In this process, we discern the following steps:  analyze of existing job descriptions, the United Nations Master Classification Standard, interviews with relevant actors  job design and competence profile  check with selected incumbents and supervisors  validation on board level  implementation and adjustment. This is an ongoing process, depending on the vacancies within UNESCO. Unesco Implementation of competencymanagement in the public sector UNESCO is an entity within the United Nations, responsible for Education, Science and Cultural Organization on a global level. In 2001, UNESCO asked GITP to design generic job descriptions for the senior management cadre of the organization, including generic competencies. These descriptions served as a basis for a competency-based assessment process. The common profile would be used for recruitment, selection, job rotation, evaluation, career development.
