FOR HEALTH PLAN ORGANIZATIONS
CONFIGURATION COMPETENCY
Are You Distinguishing Experience From Competency?
Payer configuration professionals may share similar titles and years of experience while operating at very different levels of competency. Experience remains an important professional measure. But tenure alone does not tell the entire story.
Experience tells part of the story. Demonstrated competency tells more.™
THE COMPETENCY GAP
Add demonstrated competency to the information you already evaluate.
RÉSUMÉ • EXPERIENCE • JOB TITLE • INTERVIEW • REFERENCES + SAVOIR DEMONSTRATED COMPETENCY
SAVOIR does not replace an organization’s hiring or evaluation process. It adds another independently verifiable signal to it.
ROLE-ALIGNED COMPETENCY
Recognize the level of competency the role requires.
S-CFG™ PROFESSIONAL — Professional Competency
CFGA™ ADVANCED — Advanced Competency
CFGL™ LEADERSHIP — Leadership Competency
CONSULTANTS, VENDORS & STAFFING PARTNERS
Extend competency expectations beyond your internal workforce.
Set credential expectations for the professionals entrusted with configuration — whether they are new hires, current consultants, contractors, or vendor-supplied resources.
NEW CONSULTANTS — Require the appropriate credential when sourcing talent.
CURRENT CONSULTANTS — Establish a timeframe to demonstrate competency.
VENDORS & STAFFING PARTNERS — Set credential expectations for supplied resources.
Your organization sets the competency expectations for the professionals entrusted with its configuration. SAVOIR provides an independent way to assess and verify that competency.
CREDENTIALED TALENT ECOSYSTEM
A new way to identify demonstrated configuration competency. SAVOIR is developing a professional ecosystem connecting organizations with payer configuration professionals who have earned SAVOIR credentials.
S-CFG™ Professional • CFGA™ Advanced • CFGL™ Leadership
ORGANIZATIONAL VALUE
Protect the investment behind your configuration function.
Configuration decisions carry significant operational consequences. Add independently assessed competency to the information used to evaluate the professionals entrusted with that work.
HIRING CONFIDENCE — Add independently assessed competency to hiring decisions.
ROLE ALIGNMENT — Match credential level to role responsibility.
CONSULTANT & VENDOR STANDARDS — Set competency expectations for external resources.
WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT — Develop knowledge and assess existing teams.
“A résumé tells you where someone has worked. A SAVOIR credential provides additional evidence of the competency they have demonstrated.”
