What is a cluster?
Each of the performance skill areas is made up from a ‘cluster’ comprised of a mix of process, behavioural and interpersonal skill characteristics.Take the performance skill area of Change Management, for example. This performance skill has been selected to illustrate the high impact it has on other performance skill areas. In the Skillogy model it has the highest level of impact of any of the performance skills.Change Management has 26 out of the 34 performance areas that are related to it. Of these, 10 are process driven, 8 behavioural and 8 are interpersonal. This indicates that there is a strong people management bias in the cluster (behavioural and interpersonal) combined with a significant number of work-focused skills.As a performance skill, change management focuses heavily on the behavioural and interpersonal issues. This is not surprising, as a major part of this performance area involves changing the attitudes and behaviours of organisational members.
A Cluster is a group of individuals, led by a volunteer Cluster coordinator (“CC”), which gives people the opportunity to meet other others with similar interests in a welcoming environment. Clusters help people who are new in town, or new to the Jewish community, interact in an intimate, informal atmosphere. Clusters are theme based – by geographic location, profession, hobby, interest, etc. – and are limited only by your creativity. On your initial sign up, you can join only one Cluster, however, if there are other Clusters you find interesting, you can log out and re-sign in to join other Clusters. Please limit the Clusters you join only to ones you will actively participate in, as space in Clusters is limited.
