Many competencies, one clear picture
An IFoBL MOSAIC maps the leadership competencies of a leadership field. Individual IFoBL TILEs come together to form this overall picture, organised into four TILE categories.
What is an IFoBL TILE?
An IFoBL TILE (Thematic Integrated Leadership Element) is a single, assessable competence element. It describes the knowledge, skills and competencies to be demonstrated.
All TILEs together form the MOSAIC (Model Of Strategic And Integrated Competencies) of the respective leadership field. There is one MOSAIC per field.
The MOSAIC for Project Management
Professional context, methodical skill, collaboration and self-leadership: the four TILE categories connect the competencies into one picture. Select a tile to see what is behind it.
General TILEs
Understanding the context.
Placing strategy, culture and general conditions in context. Recognising interests and understanding what decisions mean for the organisation.
Methodical TILEs
Enabling impact.
Choosing suitable approaches, making goals concrete and shaping implementation. Using methods that fit the task and the situation.
Social TILEs
Connecting people.
Building trust, enabling collaboration and dealing with tension constructively. Taking responsibility together.
Individual TILEs
Leading oneself.
Reflecting on one’s own actions, taking other perspectives and acting with clarity and reliability.
The tiles illustrate the interplay. Their number and size do not represent maturity levels or weighting.
What your certificate demonstrates
Your IFoBL certification relates to a leadership field and a certification profile. Maturity level, certification level and classification together describe which competence requirements have to be met.
A certification level does not correspond to a single maturity level. What matters is the interplay of requirements in the respective leadership field.
Maturity level
How developed is a single competence? The maturity level describes which knowledge and skills have to be demonstrated in an IFoBL TILE.
Certification level
Which profile fits your path? The certification level bundles requirements for several TILEs, for example for Core, Manager or Senior Leader.
Classification
What belongs to this profile? For each certification level the classification defines which maturity levels have to be demonstrated for the individual TILEs.
Which profile fits your responsibility?
From entry level to overarching leadership: a first orientation for your evidence of competence.
Core
Career starters and people at the beginning of their leadership development
Understanding the fundamentals and placing one’s own role in context.
Manager
People responsible for a team, a product or a project
Connecting goals, people and implementation in one’s own area.
Leader
Leaders with responsibility across team boundaries
Giving direction and enabling joint action.
Senior Leader
Experienced leaders in complex areas of responsibility
Assessing interrelations and shaping demanding situations.
Principal Leader
Leaders with overarching strategic responsibility
Aligning leadership and impact beyond individual areas.
The role examples offer orientation. What decides the assignment are the requirements in the respective leadership field.
