InScope Corporation Announces the Release of Pharmaceutical Content - Competency and Job Model Library

Purchase, New York October 18, 2005 InScope Corporation, provider of Competency Management and competency-based Performance Management tools, announces the release of its Pharmaceutical Industry library. This addition further expands InScope’s comprehensive Competency and Job Model library.

The library includes over 120 Pharma Industry Job Models-each of which consists of industry-specific and functional competencies, as well as other pertinent skills and behaviors. Job Models are available for Clinical R&D; Drug Development/Discovery; Data Management/Informatics; Medical Writing; Regulatory Affairs/Product Registration; QA; Medical Affairs/Pharmacovigilance; Pharmacy; Production/Manufacturing; Sales/Marketing; Financial/Legal; and Executive Management. Over 70 Pharma Industry-specific competencies, featuring distinct definitions, behavioral indicators and behaviorally-based interview questions, are also available as part of this release.

"The Pharmaceutical Industry," said John Nimock, Director of Content for InScope Corporation, "is representative of many industries that require their employees to possess the skills, attitudes, knowledge and behaviors critical to organizational success. It is difficult to retain and develop employees in industries such as these without some means of measuring their abilities. InScope’s content gives organizations just that—a means by which to measure."

The InScope Competency and Job Model Library, developed through ongoing independent research and continual enhancements over the past ten years, is comprised of over 1,600 competencies (skills/knowledge/behaviors) and over 1,200 industry- specific and cross-industry functional job models.
