My ex-colleague Gaurav Mishra has come up with a framework which he calls the social media competencies grid using which B Schools (and training groups within social media firms) can train people in social media skills.
You can see it here
As I told Gaurav, I would not call the second grid as a grid of competencies - but rather a grid of tools. Competencies (putting my HR hat on) - is a combination of Knowledge Skills and Attitudes/Attribute
So for example community basic competencies would be :Knowing features of wordpress and buddypress, being able to invite and grow membership of the community leveraging social advertising, and doing it without being considered spam
Advanced competencies would be: growing a Ning (or any web based tool) community of more than 1000 members, sparking discussions, tracking engagement metrics, like comments on forum, quality of discussions, returning members - eventually driving traffic back to brand/organization/non-profit website
Pro/expert competencies would be: use lithium, jive to develop multiple communities, manage several community managers, look at analytics and give strategic ideas on potential new communities, track impact and ROI etc
