Being so close to our products, it's so incredibly helpful to hear the exact unclear points within our communication. We are moving away from the notion of 'quantifying skills'. The notion was founded on the idea that you can compare people (when making a hiring decision) based on the sum of their skills, achievements and personal attributes. (I wrote a piece on comparison here http://www.mikemoran.com/biznology/archives/2008/12/by_josh_greenfield.html) Our SkillsMapper product does exactly what you mentioned. Though it can be used in smaller organizations, SkillsMapper is a great tool for upper management in large organizations to use to understand their skills inventory. It provides data to management to help them answer: who do I have, who am I missing. It's good for managers who are interested in what skills and actions their employees have performed in the past, for M&As when upper management doesn't know who they're getting, etc. Thanks so much for the 2nd chance and I hope you've seen improvement. Since you came from a recruiting background, give PreSourced a look. It's our new ATS that uses LifeChart. Kindest Regards - Josh Hi Vanessa-
