HI Sheel,
I have done a project on competency mapping in a software firm. Well to proceed wat I did was:
Looked at wat the organization expected out of my project. (it really helps to know this...)
Selection of roles/positions for which to carry out the competency mapping
Read thoroughly the job desc. of these roles
Identify 4-5 top performers in each role(use last 2-3 performance.appraisal. data)
sit with them and prepare a list of competencies they think are relevant to their job performance
sit with their supervisor/managers and identify wat competencies are reqd
preparing a list of competencies before the above interviews come in handy
I have some data with me which I will be pleased to send if you need them.

Thanks for the document Amit.
A general overview of competency mapping is available on the website of TV Rao learning systems - a small part is reproduced below:

ART AND SCIENCE OF COMPETENCY MAPPING
A lot is going on in recent times on the issue of competency mapping. A lot of resources spent and consultants invited to do competency mapping. Increased manpower costs, need for ensuring that competent people man critical positions, and the need to be competitive and recognition of the strategic advantages of having good human resources have compelled firms to be more competency driven.

Competency Mapping (CM) need not be used for performance management alone. When skill based incentives are on offer, this is viable.
For other purposes, CM can be used for understanding the business preparedness of the individual / team / unit / project / group / branch / organisation.
It can also be used to identify gaps between actual & expected competency. Thus it can act as an input for training.
Competency mapping can also help in role profiling, thereby aiding in career planning of the employee.
These are but a few thoughts, there's a vast ocean that's out there...
