Skills Gap-to-Action Plan Template

What's inside

• One row per person and skillRecord the current and target level on a 0 to 4 scale, the intervention, the owner, and the start and re-measure dates. Gap, progress and status fill in on their own.
• An evidence ladder for every levelLog how each current level was established, from an algorithm's guess to a demonstrated result. The dashboard flags plans that rest on weak evidence.
• A dashboard built for the boardClosure rate, average progress, plan status, evidence quality and gap size update live from your plans, so you report that capability changed, not just that training happened.
• Team rollups and a reference tabSee where development is landing and where it is stalling by team. The reference tab holds the proficiency scale, the evidence ladder and benchmarks to read your numbers against.

How to use it

1. 1Add a row per person and skillEach row is one person and one skill you intend to close. Fill only the white cells under the blue headers.
2. 2Set the current and target levelUse the 0 to 4 scale. Gap and progress calculate automatically.
3. 3Record the evidenceChoose the evidence rung behind the current level, so the plan rests on verified capability and not a guess.
4. 4Plan the interventionAdd the intervention, owner, start date and re-measure date. Status and days to re-measure update on their own.
5. 5Re-measure and closeUpdate the current level when you re-measure. The plan closes itself once the current level reaches the target.
6. 6Read the dashboardReview closure rate, evidence quality and the team rollup. Replace the sample data, 18 people across four teams, with your own and the charts follow.
