Capability Matrix talent management gets training back on target

Effective targeting of training within the organisation is about to become more accurate thanks to the development of an online talent management system.

Developed by UK learning management specialist, MyKnowledgeMap (MKM), Capability Matrix is a customisable capability and skills management system that lets employees assess their skills and skills gaps, enabling employers to pinpoint support to people and departments in most need.

Its flexibility allows users to create, manage and deliver custom skills gap assessments to fit an organisation's development strategy and culture.

Capability Matrix can create capability and training needs assessments based on nationally recognised competency maps (National Occupational Standards). It enables the production of customisable assessments and targets set by job-role or team.

The system can deliver assessments and produce individual capability reports as well in-depth organisational reports identifying what capabilities are available and where they are concentrated, and where should training be targeted. It can also scope in team or job functions for detailed views of capabilities and training needs.

Available for customer corporate intranet use or as a secure hosted service on the web, Capability Matrix can be custom developed with competencies and capabilities specific to user organisation/industry needs.

Alternatively, it is available 'off-the'shelf' and pre-loaded with a range of skills sets including sales, ICT, marketing, communications and more.

Capability Matrix launches this June following successful 2006 trials with the NHS, the British Council, West Lothian Council, and a consortium of UK retail bodies.
