Building on the concept of the Skills Matrix first seen in the Toyota Production System (TPS) we've designed a solution in partnership with over 10,000 global, cross-sector organisations. The original 'harvey balls' visual matrix went some way to identifying skill level; this is how we've improved the solution by making it more 'visually informative' and broadening the skill level definitions to help remove subjectiveness:
The chart on the left evidences skills based on a quadrant completion (know as harvey balls), where the whole represents full competency. The upleased model is based on a scoring mechanism of 0=No Skill Required, 1=No Competence, 2=Some Competence, 3=Fully Competent and finally 4=Subject Matter Expert. Learn more about the upleashed capability policy.
The key is to visually identify at speed the areas of strength and weakness within the team in the context skills development. The true acid test of using a skills matrix will always be 'how' you identify and then improve competency.
