Learn More DOWNLOAD NOWThis management tool is essential for all team leaders/managers, or business owners that truly want to invest in the capability of their team members.
Successful managers and leaders NEVER 'assume' the skill level of their team members. They use a skills matrix in order to evidence true ownership of team development. We recommend that you watch this short video which will introduce you to the skills and training matrix template in Microsoft Excel.
Team Members. All team members, including the team leader/manager should be listed on the Skills Matrix.
Skill / Competency. All skills, process or competency requirements of the team should be listed.
Current Capability. A true and fair reflection of the individuals current capability level should be outlined on the matrix.
Future Capability. An achievable / future / target level of capability should be outlined on the skills matrix.
To gain a true and fair reflection of individual and team capability, each team member should be rated X,1,2,3 or 4 against each skill/competency requirement on the skills matrix. The individual will then have an overall skills rating which takes into consideration the various ratings per skill/competency. By grouping individual capability you are able to understand team capability.

Improved knowledge and capability leads to increased confidence. As confidence increases, employees are more willing to take ownership of tasks and processes. Taking ownership helps to encourage autonomous working which is a great recipe for improved motivation. As teams collectively grow their capability and motivation you'll see reduced sickness / absenteeism, greater ownership, improved team work, reduced errors and waste. The benefits of broad improvement in skill capability are endless.
As capability improves, quality errors or mistakes reduce. Customers Instantly see a higher level of service/product, delivered much faster. As the organisation continues to invest in the knowledge and capability of their team members, performance and motivation improves. High performing, highly motivated teams are more likely to provide a better, more friendly, more proactive service to your clients, customers and supply chain. When customers receive a positive experience they are more willing to provide feedback that can be used to attract new business. The benefits of improved capability span far and wide.
Improvements in individual / team capability help your organisation to be more efficient; there is no argument about that! However have you sat back and thought about what improvements in capability mean in terms of cost saving? As you improve team capability you release capacity back into the team resulting in less need for additional resource. You improve performance and motivation which reduces sickness, absenteeism and turnover. You become recognised as a place people want to work at, therefore attracting the best talent. You delight customers with improved service, thus increasing the likeliness of retaining, up-selling to current clients and attracting new business. Training your team members is by far the most financially rewarding action that a business can take!
