The web pages for SFIA 9 presents the business skills/behavioural factors using behavioural factor headings. This provides a clear organisational structure that helps users understand how behaviours are grouped conceptually, making it particularly valuable for:
- New users learning the framework
- Training and development planning
- Structured assessment activities
- Creating role profiles and competency models
The layout without headings offers advantages for:
- Experienced practitioners who are already familiar with the framework
- Creating checklists or evaluation forms
- Integration into existing systems or processes
- Integration into existing HR tools where subcategory headers may not be needed or possible
Both layouts contain identical behavioural statements - it's simply a matter of choosing the presentation that best suits your specific use case and organisational needs.
This flexible approach aligns with SFIA's commitment to being adaptable and user-friendly while maintaining the framework's integrity and completeness.
