The Compass model
The Compass model is a universal technique for thinking, planning and analysis which, in addition to the two basic questions of value creation (what and how), covers the community, the individual and leadership.
The concept in brief
The basic form of the model has five directions: what, how, community, individual and leadership.
When analysing an organisation, the directions are:
- what – the system of value creation, how value creation works
- how – the system of processes
- community – the system of organisational groups
- individual – the competencies of employees
- leadership – the system for leading the organisation (company/institution)
When describing a system of competencies, the directions are:
- what – value-creation competencies
- how – work competencies
- community – organisational competencies, cooperation competencies
- individual – basic individual abilities (thinking, action, communication)
- leadership – leadership competencies
When defining the areas of leadership, the directions are:
- what – leading value creation/the business
- how – leading process(es)
- community – leading an organisation or an organisational group
- individual – leading an employee
- leadership – leading leaders
