This project started three years ago with the question: “Can you deliver a training for the Directors of KPMG Netherlands?” It resulted in a pragmatic framework to visualise and measure the distance per role in the organisation. Together, these Blueprints form the organisation’s cohesive aggregate of overall business requirements and a shared common taxonomy of competences, experiences, skills, and responsibilities.

In the end, the project not only delivered a new framework for all the roles in the organisation, but also a standardised curriculum per level for leadership, business development, personal development, and professional development.

The next step was the Blueprints’ integration – merging them with the internal Job Classification System and (re)building current and future roles. The Blueprints became a part of all assessments and the organisation’s learning ecosystem (Degreed). Three years later, all the steps were finalised and implemented.
