Raise the bar with the Retirement Living Management Capability Model

A management model for retirement village operators that’s endorsed by industry leaders and backed by current research and evidence.

What is it?

The Retirement Living Management Capability Model is an original sector-wide model that articulates the technical and behavioural management capabilities that would be expected of high performing retirement village sales professionals and village managers.

It sets the industry standard for developing and maintaining the professionalism of village manager and sales manager roles. It allows organisations to reference consistent and defined management capability standards. The Capability Model is also a useful gap analysis tool whereby individuals or staff can plan their development and growth at an organisational level. Most importantly, village residents have a reference point that demonstrates how their needs and experiences are being recognised and therefore considered as central to village life.

Structure of the Model

The Management Capability Model places the customer/resident experience central to the model. It consists of seven domains and a total of 40 explanatory, industry-specific and original component definitions. The domain and component definitions detail clear, unambiguous high-level descriptions of the technical and behavioural characteristics of successfully performing village managers and/or sales professionals. In other words, the Capabilities required of those managers.
