Interactive Media Company CPD Skills Schema Template—High Level Skills Analysis
Look at the areas of activities in the form that represent your business. How well is your company performing in these? In the first column put S=Strong, A=Average, or W=Weak. In the second column put the initials of the person/people responsible for these activities. Add Sub under the initials for subcontractor, if you subcontract any of these activities. If there are gaps, you may need to consider how to cover these. If there are W's for weakness, you need to decide how to improve these areas. Use a similar approach for the A's for average. If you are strong in certain areas, how will you keep your strength in a fast-changing interactive sector? Consult your management colleagues and the people involved to help make your strategic decisions for company-wide development. You may decide you need new people. You may decide to have lunchtime seminars given by experienced people to cover some areas of knowledge. You may decide to take some trade magazines and encourage employees to read them to keep up-to-date. You may decide to build in some formal training courses or e-learning courses. There are many ways to help individuals improve so that your company improves. Look at the separate individual CPD template to see the range of activities that can help each reach his/her goals ranging from work-based activities to out of work activities.
The Training Needs Analysis chart has been made as open as possible for the interactive sector. It will probably not fit your company and its structure exactly so you need to adjust it to suit. It should prompt you to cover all the relevant areas though. The principles of identifying the needs across your company are valid and then you can decide how to take action to improve the skills needed in the way that will suit you best.
Good luck.
