Abstract: The paper at hand presents a new competence focused management approach which is called competence based business development (CbBD). CbBD should support organizations of all kinds in the effective identification, measurement, combination and integration of organizational competences, which can be seen as a bundle of human competencies, tools and material. The creation of new business fields, products and services or the competence based organizational development can be named as fields of application. The theoretical background and the general framework for this methodology are presented in this paper as a first contribution to the scientific community, which manages the matching of human competence with organizational resources to build organizational competencies.
