The Core-Unique-Expanding (CUE) Model
Individual experience, knowledge and competence are the core of our Community of
Competence™. Assessing and documenting a person's overall competencies is often a
challenging, time-consuming task. Elizabeth A. Smith, Ph.D. created the experience-based
Core-Unique-Expanding (CUE) Model as a logical way to identify, group, and compare
each person's unique competencies, work skills, abilities, and knowledge with work
they actually do, or would like to do. Job satisfaction and productivity are highest
when people do what they enjoy most, are capable of doing, and are openly recognized
by their peers and supervisors. A highly motivated, competent work force, particularly
in health care, is vital to an organization’s overall success.
For more than 20 years,
this model has been used successfully in business and management to guide decisions
on work and team assignments, cross-training, and career development.
We offer consultation
and practical applications of the CUE Model in workshops and seminars for individuals
and groups of all sizes. Contact us for more information about this program and learn
how you can improve your team and optimize your performance in quality and safety.
