This study analyzes the link between strategies and the development of managerial competences, verifying how organizational learning takes place. It is a single and exploratory case study, performed at a service company. After mapping the strategies adopted by the company, demands were identified for developing managerial competences appropriate for several periods. The findings highlight how the use of organizational strategies can generate necessities for the development of new managerial competences, considering the attributions and responsibilities which started being taken over by the managers. For the managers the circumstances which most favored their learning process were associated with initiatives of self-development and informal practices of competence articulation, always supported by the organization.
