detail with samples:
1. Skill Matrix2. Competency Map
Skill Matrix
The skill matrix is a tool for determining a lot of skill related aspects of the organization and
its employees. The skill matrix can be used to identify the following:

Identify the Skill Inventory of the Organization The level of skills (Ratings) The Required/ Preferred level of skills The combination of skills that could be formed (Competencies) The points where skill improvement is required The people who could impart training on certain specific skills (Experts)
The skill matrix can be designed in various ways as per the requirement of the organization
and the results that are expected out of the matrix. This specific matrix is designed to scale
each employee on the various skills that are chosen as per the requirement of Textron India
Pvt. Ltd.
The X-Axis of the matrix contains the names of the employees of a particular team while the
Y-Axis contains the names of the skills. There are two separate kinds of skill matrix that are
used in this project: - the Soft Skill Matrix and the Technical (Hard) Skill Matrix. The Skills
mentioned on both of these kinds vary.

Other Designs for Skill Matrix
A skill matrix is a tool which is not predefined in a hard and fast manner. It is a flexible tool
and can be designed for use in specific purposes. The skill matrix that has been used in this
research is the basic Employee Vs Skills Matrix as shown below:
But this is not the only way in which a skill matrix can be designed.
A few examples of how the skill matrix could be designed in other manners are covered in
this section. The major types of designs that have been covered here are:
Skill comparison matrix for teams using similar kinds of skills Skill comparison matrix for the same team but at different times/ time intervals 360 degree ratings for a far more accurate employee skills assessment Skill comparisons for employees based on achievements
There could be many more ways in which one could design the matrix and it is purely
organization specific. The organizations needs and what it expects out of the exercise are the
factors which directly influence the design of the skill matrix. The above mentioned designs
have been thought of using such organizational needs only.

Sample template:
Skill comparison matrix for the same employee/team but at different times/ time
intervals
We have now seen the comparison of employees and skills, and also teams and skills. Now if
we assume that an organization is a continuously learning one and needs to keep a constant
tab on the progress of the employees. This could be true for smaller growing organizations
which need to grow fast and strong but also have lesser number of employees so the task is
not that tedious or exhausting. Thus a comparison chart could be prepared for each employee
based on the improvements over a period of time. It could be monthly, quarterly or half
yearly and could use more extensive rating scales.
Horizontal Axis - This axis holds all the Skill Names which are the points on which the
employee will be rated all through.
Vertical Axis - This axis holds all the Time periods of comparison.

Benefits of such a matrix:
It helps in following up of the skill updates It shows whether the employee/team is improving, stagnant or becoming worse Tests could be used for the exact ratings which would remove all bias and the by
products of office politics.
The employee/team will be motivated to continuously work on improvinghis/her/their skills as its a constant rating process and is being kept for the record.
Would help in the final performance appraisal process as a reference if prepared andrecorded accurately.
Sample template:
360 degree ratings for a far more accurate employee skills assessment
This idea was actually suggested by one of the employees of Textron India Pvt. Ltd., while
the ratings were being collected. It is a very time consuming exercise with a lot of scope of

mistakes being committed. But if done accurately, the quality of ratings that could be
generated will be very high. The rating of each employee for each other team member will be
taken, rather than just the team leader ratings as done in this research. That is why its called
the 360 degree rating scheme. All the data will be then consolidated for the teams specifically
and the final result would yield a massive analysed collection of the skills inventory, with a
fairly accurate assessment of the skill levels.
Horizontal Axis - This axis holds all the Skill Names which are the points on which the
employee will be rated all through.
Vertical Axis - This axis holds all theEmployee Names that belong to the same team, but in
each template the person who is rating the other members will be listed first. A special
template needs to be prepared for each employee as such.
Benefits of such a matrix:
Its far more exhaustive research The quality of the outputs is much better The analysis will provide further more details to the managers to work upon Could also point out the employee psychologies to an extent If used properly, could also define the employee relations for the specific teams. Could become a powerful reference for the performance appraisal process if executed
and recorded accurately.
Could be also used to find out which teams bond better and which dont, thus relateefficiency directly to team cohesion.

Research Methodology
Problem definition
The problem in this case is the unavailability of the current positions of the employee skill
levels and competency levels. That leaves the management in a blind folded condition with
regards to the manner in which the employees are to be trained and developed for the
betterment of the organization as a whole. So the problem definition of this project can be put
as:
Problem Statement- The identification and compilation of the skills inventory of the
organization and the individual employee skill levels. Also mapping the competency levels,
and comparison of the same with the organizations requirements
Approach to the Problem- The approach to the problem is as follows:
Designing and developing of the BU specific skill matrix Getting the manager/employee ratings in the matrices Analysing the matrix for the discrepancies from the benchmarked levels Colour coding for easy identification Defining competencies for the organization as per the profile Mapping the competencies with the help of the skill ratings
By following this approach the benefit that could be gained is that the organizational skill
inventory and competency level will be recorded in an organized matrix form for easy
analysis. This matrix could be further used by the organization as a tool for planning and
organizing the training and development programmes for the year.
Research Design
This research did not make use of any of the research tools that are used conventionally. The
compilation of data and analysis is done manually using excel sheets. The data collection
method is also in the form of ratings which is described in detail further.
The research pattern was specifically designed as per the needs and guidelines of the senior
management.

Sampling
This study was carried out for all the employees of Textron India Pvt. Ltd., Bangalore and
thus no sampling technique was required.
If that be the case it can be said that out of the various companies working in the same field,
Textron India Pvt. Ltd. employees were selected for the study.
The sample consisted of a total of 135 employees. The remaining number of employees were
on tour to the US and thus could not be involved in the exercise.
The sample was reached via emails mostly, except for the few cases where the employees had
to be approached in person. There was always face to face contact with the team leaders.
Data Collection Techniques
Data was collected from two different sources via emails:
1) The team leaders/ managers/ supervisors ratings (here the rating was given to all team
members.
2) The employee self rating (as the name suggests, the employees were supposed to rate only
themselves.

Research Procedure
Given below is the procedure which was followed for each of the 19 teams for which the
exercise was conducted:
Step 1: Skill and employee listing
Compilation and listing of the current technical skills for all the various business units (BU)
while coordinating with the team leaders is first step. In this step the team leader/ manager
were approached and the list of technical skills used by the team was populated after brain
storming with them. The member list (employee names) of the specific team is also updated
during this step. This step also includes the deciding of the benchmarks to be set for each of
the skills as per the difficulty level of the skill.
Step 2: Developing BU specific skill matrix (Template).
After the lists have been created, the skill matrix template meant for rating is created. A
sample of the raw template is given below:
Step 3: Team leader/ manager ratings
Once the template is prepared, it is send first to the team leaders/managers via email, for their
final approval and ratings. The team leaders/ managers give ratings to all the employees

analysis. A sample template with the team leader ratings is shown below:
Step 4: Employees self ratings.
After the team leader/ manager ratings are received, similar empty templates are sent to the
team members via email for the self rating. The employees rate themselves as per their
perception of their skill levels. Thus the employees perception is also recorded. A sample of

Step 5: Consolidation and manual analysis
After the manager ratings and the employee ratings are received, both these ratings are
consolidated into one sheet such that each employee has two sets of ratings. After this is
done, then the ratings are analyzed and colour coded according to the benchmarks fixed in
Step-1. There are two major coding that is done:
1) All ratings below the bench mark are put in Red (Points of concern)
2) All expert ratings are put in Green (Potential in house trainers)
The benchmarks are put in yellow on top of each skills and the type of rating (team leader
self rating, employee self rating or team leaders rating for the employees) is put in blue
beside the employee names.

Step 6: Brainstorming for discrepancies
The analyzed colour coded sheets are then taken to the team leader/manager and a
brainstorming round regarding the ratings and the discrepancies is carried out. Corrections in
ratings or benchmarks if any are to be incorporated during this step.
Step 7: Identifying the final need in terms of training requirements.
The final skill matrix is then ready with the training requirements shown in red and the
potential trainers shown in green. The management can further use this tool to plan the
trainings for the complete year.
Step 8: Competency Mapping
Now competency mapping though carried out with the help of skill matrices is a totally
different thing. According to definition a competency is a collection of skills. Now as each
skill is a verb which means action, thus a competency can be defined as a complete act made
up from the combination of various smaller actions. So to define a competency and map it,
the procedure requires one to first find out what all skills are comprised in each of the defined
competencies. If the competency be not defined then the skills should be decided upon by
thorough brainstorming and looking into each and every aspect of the competency to come up
with the list of skills that may be required for the particular competency.
Once the skill matrix is prepared, the last step is to map the competencies. It is done in the
following fashion:
The skill ratings are segregated for each competency as per the legend shown in Fig. Then the average of the rating (employee and team leader ratings both included) is
taken.
This average rating is then compared to the scale shown in Fig. Then in the final step, the ratings are marked on the competency map.

Observations and Results
The observations and results that were gathered from the research for the 19 teams of
Textron India Pvt. Ltd.,was submitted at the end of the internship period to the organization
and cannot be shared in this report for the sake of organizational privacy and
confidentiality. However, for the reviewer to get a feel of the final analysed sheets, a sample
sheet collection of the skill matrices and the competency map for 8 sample teams (Team A
to Team H) has been provided as annexure to this report. The names used in these sample

Recommendations
The following are the recommendations based on the observations and results gathered from
the research:
1. Employees should be clearly explained regarding the objective of conducting theexercise and also the importance of such exercise to their own selves, so that there is a
cent percent involvement from the employees side. This would also help in speeding
up the exercise as the doubts regarding the procedure and the expectations from it
could be cleared out in the initial phases itself.
2. The exercise should be carried out in 360 degrees as it would strengthen theauthenticity of the ratings and would give a clearer picture as to the exact skill andcompetency levels of the employees.
3. The exercise should be carried out with the involvement of the senior management asit would bring more quality to the ratings collected.
4. Use of occasional skill tests within the department could help the employees keep atrack of where exactly they stand and thus would help them put more authentic ratings
when asked to.
5. The trainings should be planned with the involvement of the employees as well (notonly the team leaders) so that there are no low yield trainings being held. This would
cut down the costs of training further.
6. The experts in the ratings marked green should be further investigated in detail andif found satisfactory should be made use of as in house trainers. This would cut the
trainer costs for the company.
7. Further, the findings of the exercise could be shared with the employees in a mannerdeemed fit by the senior management, so that the employees are clear about the areasin which they are lacking, and thus from their own side ca start working on it.
8. This sharing of the results would also give the employees an idea on who to approachin case of a certain skill, as the experts are identified as a result of this exercise. So
this would improve the cross education, helping and cohesiveness among the
employees. This would further help in the strengthening of the bonds between the
employees, thus strengthening the manpower asset of the organization as a whole.

Limitations
The limitations that were felt during the course of this project are as follow:
Due to lack of time, only the manager and employee self ratings could be taken. Theproject would have been much better in quality if the employee ratings for other
employees were also considered like a 360 degree rating. It would have brought a lot
more accuracy and authenticity to the ratings.
It was observed that in many teams the complete seriousness of the exercise was notunderstood. This was reflected in the type of ratings that were provided.
A part of the employees could not be included in the exercise as they were out of thecountry on on-site assignments and tours.
As the team leaders had a major say in the ratings, therefore the problem offavouritism and the bias due to that could not be accounted.
The over confidence or the under confidence of the employees in their self ratingscaused some amount of in accuracy in the overall picture that emerged. But the
managers rating provides a good comparing ground for the discrepancies.
The sharing of the results with the employees has not been done and so it leaves adoubt as to whether the full effect that could be achieved by the employee direct
involvement is being achieved.

Conclusion
The skill matrix and the competency maps were successfully developed and analyzed for all
the teams of Textron India Pvt. Ltd. The data provided can be used by the organization for
planning its training and development programmes for the year ahead. The submitted sheets
also provide a good insight into the current position of the employees as far as skills and
competencies are concerned and also an idea as to how to use them for the benefit of the
organization.
Detailed recommendations on improving the exercise in the future and also regarding the
use of the data provided are mentioned earlier in the report.
The exercise carried out this time has some limitations which are also mentioned in detailed
in the report. It would be advantageous if these limitations are overcome the next time. It
would improve the quality of the exercise by leaps and bounds.
The project was carried out in a good manner and has met the expectations of the
organization and the institute satisfactorily, though it still has quite some scope for
improvements which could be incorporated subsequently.
