Which of the following is a typical limitation of competence frameworks?

A typical limitation is that competence frameworks can become outdated or rigid if they are not reviewed as roles and the business environment change. They do link training to job requirements and can be used at every level of an organisation, so the other statements are wrong.

  1. AThey can become outdated or overly rigid if not reviewed as roles and the business environment changeCorrect
  2. BThey cannot be used to link training to job requirements
  3. CThey are only suitable for the most senior directors

Explanation

Frameworks need regular review, otherwise they fail to reflect changing roles and may encourage a box-ticking approach. They are in fact designed to link training to job requirements, and they can be applied at all levels, not only to directors.
