To illustrate the value of the newprocedures, the results of the new method will be compared with those of the traditional method(numerical 1-5 scale). Emphasis will be placed on showing how the new method not onlyprovides better data, but does so in a time-efficient manner and makes “closing-the-loop” easier.The remainder of this paper is organized as follows. First, the traditional method of assessmentof the competencies will be explained in more detail and the historical results will be presented.This will be followed by an explanation of the changes that were made for the
