KSA stands for Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities. It’s a common term found in the armed forces and other government agencies. When a government agency announces a position (on www.usajobs.gov for example), they will post specific KSA’s required for the job. Part of the application process requires the applicant to write (in full detail) describing their experiences in each one of those areas. The KSA process is utilized to assess past work experiences so that they can predict performance trends and habits for future positions.
Although a highly effective process, the KSA application process is missing something critical. It’s the actual thing they are trying to bring about – conviction or rather, purpose driven performance. Without conviction in the equation; knowledge, skills, and abilities would be life-less and performance trends will continue as such. However, when the individual is driven by purpose, peak performance can both be achieved and attained.
After all, it’s in performance when our goals are put in motion. It is a chance for our actions to reflect our beliefs. As we continue to gain more knowledge, acquire more skills, and develop more abilities the more we are given the opportunity to perform. When performance is purpose driven, nothing will stand in the way of progress.
