We are working on tracking and validating soft skill development. 

The process we are suggesting is that the "Coach" will be responsible for tracking the development of the member. But we need to standardize and make it clear how we measure and value skills. So that when you see someone with Advanced Leadership skills, has the same achievements as other people with the same level. 
And for example, we need rigid standards, such as, the coach must consider that the skill is there + a measurable KPI like: To be advanced you need +10 projects published. 

It needs to focus on the skills that create the most value the most in our organization. At the same time, they need to be simple enough to understand and measure. 

In the process we should also ask the participant where they think they are like a self-evaluation and take that in consideration, but that's for the "Coach" role handbook or curse. 


 

By tracking skills, we can help them develop better.  I'm going to paste Llama3 and ChatGPT's feedback, that i think is quite good, but needs some work. After reading both, ChatGPT's GPT3.5 answer is weaker that Llama3's. 


Please leave your proposals and comments on this thread! Thank you.

We could start by making an initial assessment with free tools. Ex: mind tools free test + self-evaluation to decide the development path which should match Inkua´s profile (document we have) and the personal specific improvement map.

Hello, good afternoon. Here is my small contribution on the matter.

I reviewed Martha Alles' book to ensure the proper procedure for applying a competency management model that allows us to work on this. I believe the competencies you mentioned are relevant to the organization and could cover a large part of the departments' needs.

Following Martha Alles' method, these could be the general competencies applied to all members of the organization. The author mentions that, to be more precise when evaluating and working on members' development, it is necessary to define the specific competencies for each area or department. As Martha Alles says, "Competencies differ according to the specialty and level of the collaborators within the organization. Sometimes, the same competency, for example, leadership, may be required for young professionals and, at the same time, for top executives, with the level or degree required differing in each case."

Additionally, it would be useful to include a definition of each competency with the help of the competency dictionary proposed by the author and adjust the examples of behaviors for each competency according to the roles, responsibilities, and specific tasks of each department or area. She says, "Observable behaviors are the indicators to be used to evaluate or measure competencies."
