Skills Gap Analysis

Conduct a skills gap analysis for a team transitioning to automated dashboards.

The Scenario

A 6-person finance team at a South African retailer currently produces monthly reports in Excel. The company is moving to Power BI dashboards. The team lead suspects not everyone has the skills to make the transition.

The Brief

Conduct a skills gap analysis. Identify the required skills, assess the current team against them, and propose a training plan.

Deliverables

  • A skills matrix: Required Skill × Team Member with current proficiency (1-5) for at least 8 skills
  • A gap summary: which skills have the largest gaps and which team members need the most development
  • A training plan: recommended training for each gap with timeline and estimated cost/effort

Submission Guidance

A skills gap analysis is not a performance review. It identifies capability gaps, not individual failings. Frame it constructively.
