Competency Requirement Model

Practitioner chooses the competency model they wish to be evaluated against. This could be a credential they wish to earn or a job they wish to qualify for.

The circle graph represents their status relative to the selected model:

• Green represents the percentage of the requirements that the Practitioner has completed or demonstrated competence in

• Orange represents the percentage of the requirements that the Practitioner is currently “in process” of completing (e.g. there are in-progress learning activities that would close a gap)

• Gray represents the percentage of the requirements that have not yet been satisfied

Assess Proficiency

There are two different assessments:

1. Practitioners assess their own proficiency relative to the competency model.

2. Supervisors provide an external assessment

The circle graphs reflect the assessments. The stated percentage reflects how many competencies have been assessed. The colors represent the proficiency assessment values:

• Green represents competencies where the Practitioner is assessed as “at or above target”

• Orange represents “below target”

• Gray represents “not yet assessed”

Set / Update Priorities

Once the list of skill gaps is identified, the Practitioner identifies the ones they want to focus on first. This helps the tool prioritize the most relevant learning activities.

The number inside the circle represents the number of competency areas that were identified as priorities.

Find Learning Activities

The RPE suggests Activities that will close the identified skills gaps, prioritizing the ones that match the Practitioner’s learning priorities.

Practitioners can search in different ways:

• All Gaps - finds activities that will close any of the established competency gaps

• “High Priority” Gaps - finds activities that will close competency gaps that are identified as especially high priorities by the selected competency model. For instance, different job profiles may have different skills that are “required” and “nice to have”

• My Priorities - finds activities that will close the competency gaps marked as personal priorities by the Practitioner

Report Completed Activities

As the Practitioner completes the learning activities, the completion status graph updates to reflect progress towards the learning objectives.

The number inside the circle is the total number of completed activities. The color bands reflect the status of those activities:

• Green represents the percentage of reported activities that have been completed

• Orange represents the percentage of reported activities that are currently in progress

External Reassessment (optional)

The RPE supports (via client-specific customization) the ability to display a call-to-action on the dashboard. In this sample, this feature is used to invite Practitioners to take an externally-provided assessment in order to test their knowledge.

Competency Model summary

The dashboard can be filtered in different ways to focus on what the Practitioner needs to see at any given time.

• Entire Model - Displays the entire competency model, including those competencies not included in the specified Requirements Model. This is useful for examining how a specific credential or job profile maps against the overarching competency model.

• High Priorities - Displays only the competencies flagged as priorities by the Competency Model. (These are denoted by an alert icon next to their name)

• High Priority Gaps - Displays all high-priority competencies where the Practitioner is lacking the required proficiency

• My Position Profile - Displays all competencies that are part of the target Requirements Model

• My Priorities - Displays all competencies that the Practitioner identified as a personal priority

• Performance Gaps - Displays all competencies where the Practitioner is lacking the required proficiency

Assessment Status

For each competency area that is displayed, the Assessment Status column shows three values:

• The proficiency from the self-assessment for that competency area

• The target proficiency, from the selected Requirements Model

• The proficiency from the supervisor’s assessment for that competency area

For the first and third values (self and supervisor assessment, respectively), the color of the value indicates its status relative to the target proficiency:

• Green indicates the assessment is at or above the target

• Red indicates the assessment is below the target

Activity Progress

For each competency area that is displayed, the Progress column displays a summary of the Practitioner’s progress towards meeting the proficiency level required by the Requirements Model.

In the competency model, a “leaf code” is either met (the Practitioner has demonstrated the minimum required proficiency level) or unmet (the Practitioner has NOT demonstrated the required proficiency).

Progress is “rolled up” to higher levels of the competency model as well, providing an aggregate view of progress across different levels of the model.

In the rollup progress bars, colors indicate completion status:

• Green segments indicate the number of competency areas, within the group, where the Practitioner meets the required proficiency;

• Orange segments indicate the number of competency areas, within the group, where the Practitioner has an in-progress activity that will satisfy the requirement, once completed

• Gray segments indicate the number of competency areas, within the group, where the Practitioner is missing the required proficiency and has nothing in-progress
