Applications involve significant judgement in planning design technical or leadershipguidance functions related to products services operations or procedures would be common

An individual demonstrating this competency would be able to

Demonstrate understanding of specialised knowledge with depth in some areas

Analyse diagnose design and execute judgement across a broad range of technical or management functions

Generate ideas through the analysis of information and concepts at an abstract level

Demonstrate a command of wideranging highly specialised technical creative or conceptual skills
