100,000 Combinations – The Power of Modular Skill Management Systems: How MySkilltower Opens a New Dimension of Talent Development for Companies
In a constantly evolving working world, it’s becoming increasingly crucial for companies not just to know their employees’ skills, but to develop them purposefully and orchestrate them dynamically. But how can this succeed when teams are heterogeneous, projects complex, and development goals highly individual?
The answer lies in modular skill management systems – and with mySkilltower.com, companies have access to a platform that not only addresses this challenge, but reimagines it entirely.
Think Modular, Act Individually
The core of MySkilltower is its modular concept. Instead of rigid competency frameworks, the platform offers a finely granular skill structure: so-called skills and bricks, which can be flexibly combined into competency profiles – the Skill-Towers. Over 100,000 meaningful combinations are possible. This means that instead of forcing an employee into a predefined role, the tower is built around them – based on their strengths, goals, and team requirements.
An example: A project manager in a mid-sized IT company requires different competencies than one in the mechanical engineering sector. MySkilltower reflects this – with predefined but adaptable roles and individual skill sets.
Full Control
Despite this variety, usability remains as simple as possible: whether employee, HR manager, or team lead – everyone sees exactly what’s relevant to them. The role and permission structure is just as modular as the skills themselves.
Employees can independently request feedback, set development goals, or initiate peer comparisons – with no complex training. Managers gain an immediate overview of their team’s development status and can derive targeted actions.
Targeted Learning Instead of Guesswork
Another highlight of MySkilltower is the link between learning and skills. When comparing the target (SOLL) and current (IST) Skill Towers, the GAP is visualized. For each missing brick in the GAP tower, specific measures are suggested to close it – individually, intelligently, and always in the context of the company’s bigger picture.
This turns the modular skill management system into a strategic foundation for modern workforce planning:
Which employees are ready for new challenges?
Who could fill an internal role instead of hiring externally?
Where are future skill gaps likely to appear?
MySkilltower delivers data-driven answers – before things become critical.
