Customer story

Using Orgvue for competency analysis

With major changes in the market requirements, the business needed to highlight the gaps in their skills framework, and understand how they could effectively respond to the changing landscape. They had already developed a relatively immature spreadsheet model to manage competencies, and a cyclical 5 year supply and demand forecast.

They used Orgvue to analyze their current workforce skills and competencies, and uncovered gaps and opportunities to drive change. They then drove engagement and awareness across the business and key stakeholders, and ensured they had the right processes to proactively make the necessary changes.
