Which three criteria explain why the MoV individual competence model is useful to an organisation? 1. To assess an individual's capabilities and the type of MoV study for which they are suited. 2. To recognise that a fully but recently qualified practitioner will lack the experience to undertake studies on particularly complex projects. 3. To enable recently qualified practitioners to learn to undertake MoV where human and cultural factors may be significant. 4. To allow recently qualified practitioners to undertake studies on particularly complex projects.

A. 1, 2, 3
Explanation

The MoV individual competence model is a framework used by organizations to effectively manage their value management resources. Its primary utility lies in assessing an individual's current capabilities to match them with suitable MoV studies (1). The model explicitly recognizes that formal qualification alone is insufficient; it differentiates practitioners based on experience, acknowledging that a newly qualified individual may not be ready for highly complex projects (2). Furthermore, the model serves as a developmental tool. It helps identify skill gaps and creates a pathway for practitioners to gain the necessary experience, particularly in handling nuanced situations involving significant human and cultural factors, thereby building organizational capability (3).

Why Incorrect

4. This contradicts the model's purpose, which is to match competence with complexity, thereby preventing the assignment of inexperienced practitioners to overly complex projects.

2. AXELOS. (2010). Management of Value. The Stationery Office (TSO). Appendix C, Section C.2, pp. 157-158. The framework outlines different competence levels (e.g., Practitioner, Advanced Practitioner), which are differentiated by experience and the ability to handle complexity. This supports point 2 and refutes point 4, as complex projects require a higher level of competence than a recently qualified practitioner would possess.
