OK, so you use your competency management program to prepare a fact-finding mission. You seek out exactly what the high-performers are doing, including details such as
You may have to sit the individual down and go over in detail the whole workflow, maybe even follow them on the job. Whatever tactics you take, your objective is to see how they reach the heights of each of their competencies.
This description then becomes the template for guiding other workers to achieve the same high performance. The results of your analysis can be turned over to training or mentoring.
Perhaps training is already available in some of the areas. Now you have justification to add that training to your project planning. Maybe you can even find a way to get training staff to do the analysis for you. Hint: It may be as advantageous to their development as a training function as it is for you to get the training completed for your project.
You just cannot do this with old fashoined job descriptions.

This is quite timely for my use. I am currently looking at ways to help/mentor people in our organization and I could say that what you have stated here is simple but really significant points. It somehow gets me back on track as to what to consider in mentoring others to become not just as high performer employees but also as a satisfied and contented employees of our organization. Thanks.
