Role Profiling
A role profile says what a job actually consists of — its responsibilities, the skills it draws on and what doing it well looks like — rather than what a job title implies.
Role & Skills Intelligence
Understand the work before planning the workforce
Understand the work before planning the workforce. We help organisations define roles, identify essential skills and establish clear proficiency standards so that talent decisions reflect what successful performance actually requires.
What we do
From the work outwards
Skills and Competency Frameworks
A framework is the shared vocabulary an organisation uses to talk about capability. Without one, every manager describes the same skill differently and none of the descriptions can be compared.
Proficiency Levels
Naming a skill is not enough to act on: what matters is how much of it a role requires. Proficiency levels put a standard against each skill so that “can do” has a definition.
Skills Mapping
Mapping sets the skills an organisation has against the skills its roles require, and shows where the two do not meet.
Critical-Role Identification
Not every role carries the same risk. Critical-role work identifies the positions where a vacancy or a capability gap would be felt hardest, so planning attention goes where it counts.
Individual Capability Profiles
A capability profile describes one person against the same framework the roles use — which is what makes a person and a role comparable at all.
Organisational Capability Mapping
Read together, individual profiles show what an organisation can currently do as a whole, and where its capability is thin.
