Leadership & Management Competencies

The CIAC Leadership and Management Competencies specify job role-specific knowledge, skills and attributes for superior leadership and management of a call center.  Global in scope and definition, the competencies are applicable to call center leaders and management professionals in organizations of every business type and size throughout the world.  The competencies address four domains of call center management responsibility:

  • People
  • Operations
  • Customer Relationships 
  • Leadership & Business

To define the competencies, CIAC worked with industrial psychologists, competency modeling specialists and a broad cross-section of call center practitioners, training professionals and subject matter experts from around the world.   The competencies are modeled to drive results-based outcomes and in-depth conceptual and practical comprehension and application of all aspects of call center business, strategy and operations.  The development process included research of related competencies and job role profiling to determine responsibilities, requirements and outcomes indicative of superior performance.  Final validation of the competencies included worldwide industry review and approval.   CIAC conducts routine review of the competencies to ensure their currency and relevance.

 Why Are Competency Standards Important?

 



 

“I consider receiving my CIAC Certification a great accomplishment. Participating with my co-workers helped us to develop an even greater sense of camaraderie. I have a much better awareness of call center operations not only within my own organization, but within the industry as a whole.”
