Dear Himabindu,
Competency gap analysis and skill gap analysis is the same.....
THis gap is ientified when the superior's rating is less then the desired rating for a particular skill.....
If the superior's rating is lower then the desired rating, then that skill is termed as Training Needs Identified and then that employee is given training for that particular skill.....
I am also attaching a Competency Mapping Dictionary which can guide you for your project....

Hi,
the simplest way to do this is to list out the skills/competencies needed for a job & then independently evaluate the skills /competencies of people doing these jobs. develop a rating mechanism to grade this skill level and you can get the gap.
In progressive companies, this is a ongoing exercise as people & roles too grow. hence this should ideally happen quarter on quarter instead of a annual exercise.
The gap can be filled either by training or by re-deployment ( many times you have right people in wrong jobs )
You should start by developing a set of questionnaires which can help you collect information on the required & existing skills.

Dear Bindu :

Skills Gap & Competency gap interchangebly will have a very neast relation. However, Skill Gap is the area focussing mainly on a specified activity. For e.g. I am good in Excel or Power point. How effectively I can do this can be seen. This means we can see the result. The result would be ultimate report. Here two things we can observe. 1) Knowledge is a learned ability which we can not see - it is an intangible asset. However, the skill is an ability gettting by virtue of our knowledge. However, both are having very close association. 2) However, Skill - you can see the result.

Now, I explain about the skill Gap Vs. Competency Gap.

Skill Gap is bascially talks about specific. Actual Vs. Desired

I take Oracle 8i is the skill that may be required for an Software Engineer. The mapping would be as follows :
Actual Desired Gap
Rating Rating

Engineer - 2 5 -3
Sr. Engineer 3 6 -3

This means for every role one has to define the rating along with definitions. It can be Basic, Standard, Advanced, Expert etc.

Howeve, when we talk about competency it describes not only the skills, knowledge, attitude, motives, etc.
Also one has to set the following attributes like

- Functional / Technical Competencies
- Functional / Generic Behaviours
- Leadership / Managerial behaviours etc.

Ultimately competency mapping is for the purpose of in order to deliver a superior performance by utilising our skills, knowledge etc.

Though the above is not sufficient to some extent it would be helpful for your query.

Competency gap analysis can be done by giving KRAs (key responsibility areas) to employees @ time of joining....and then reviewing the same every quarter....by the reporting manager and employee himself....
the same gives a clear idea and helps in identifying skill gap...

Yes.,
I have done similarly for the employees in our organisation..
Really it has come very well,good interaction with employees.
they also know the requirements from them..This way analytically we can do the gap analysis.

Sir ,
I would first advice u to chose the right terminology. "Competency mapping" or "Competency Assessment" would be better choice.Competency Gap seems negetive and incomlete termand any how to determinne gap you have to first identify ,then Map and then Assess the competency level. You should know the current level and desired level then only you can determine the Gap.................
