Build competency models that close skill gaps and deliver results

You can’t upskill or reskill without knowing the requirements for a role. Those requirements are defined in a competency or capability model. When people do a competency assessment, it identifies individual skill gaps that help them know how to upskill and reskill for their current or future job so they can succeed. In aggregate, skill gaps and proficiency data help executives pursue the best and most achievable strategy.

Here you’ll learn how to rapidly create a competency model (along with templates and instructions) and perform a competency assessment.
