Bridge Manager Competency Development Framework (BMCDF)

A bridge manager competency development framework (BMCDF) is a framework that describes the competencies of bridge managers in global R&D projects. The framework includes the number of competencies that are applied to the role of bridge managers in global R&D projects. Each competency defines the knowledge, skills, and abilities in which the bridge managers are assessed. The framework is a guideline for bridge managers for which competencies are required for effective global R&D project facilitation. The framework also ensures that skills gaps are addressed and further developed. This competency framework can be used in many types of global R&D projects.
