core com-pe-ten-cy - A core competency is an area of specialized expertise that is the result of harmonizing complex streams of technology and work activity so that the customer benefits and the competition cannot easily duplicate.

According to Jim Collins in his business classic, "Good To Great", successful organizations are committed to resist the temptation to do what they are good at. Instead, they exercise focused, purpose driven attention to accomplish the one thing they are great at.

These areas of greatness form important Core Competencies for every organization.
