Enterprises found that just half per cent of their leaders now embark on *some* capability assessment, bringing to light a *divergence* among the apparent *demand for skill assessments* and *corporations acting* in consequence. Procurement assessment can *deliver significant benefits* for your company, but not many appreciate it like that. **Why not?** *Capability assessments*, *training plans* and visibly-linked *career paths* are some of the most efficient means used *to overturn* this gap and *adjust* workforce retaining.  Hereafter the **most ten** common reasons *why not***:** - **The possibility of external hiring** (higher than internal promotion) or outsourcing. - **The shifting to short-term *retention*** *of staff*, therefore, reluctant *to invest* in individuals who would leave your company soon. - **The team is nervous about being assessed.** Carefully communicate *your position*, the *company’s*, and let your staff know their benefits coming from it. - **Short or any resources to run out a capability assessment.** Your company has *no plans* in the short-term *on investing in* *edge-tech* ***nor*** on applying new *lines of attack*. But, **you need to invest both on *time* and *money*; the potential *benefits* and longer-term *savings* are significant when using a** proven f*ramework*. - **Your former capability assessment was unproductive** due to *lack of implementation* and *not undertaking* any suggestions*; combine****formal training* and *on-the-job coaching. Follow up* your outcomes and create a Measure your staff’s skills *right-away,* *previous* and *after* your closure to *grasp* i*mprovements* and *new possibilities*.** - You are in a new position with *little or no information available* to assess efficiency. - Stakeholders *do not accept the outcomes*, or you *do not like them either*. You *lost interest* as other Procurement groups *left you far behind*. - Your team is *too good for* assessment; you *know well* what to do. Or, process and people are *not working well*. - You think your *time* or *money* *is not worth* spending on training. You might prefer to spend money on implementing edge tech. - It might be you and your group are not well-included to the rest of the staff. **Improve and apply competency plans urgently!** Surveys lately concluded that *a low number* of employees count *on the skills* to perform their jobs, but predictions are this would drop in the coming years.  Employees are the company *most significant asset*; investing in *people’ education* will furnish a business with the perfect combination of *leadership, technical* and *industrial capabilities*, making available a well-defined professional journey to uphold top players. ***…Yet only half of the organisations are using capability assessments.*** **Further comments**: call Procurement leaders *to action* to conduct a *capability assessment*; and create i*nvestment* in *team development*, paving the way for improved-*staff retention* and *lower hiring costs*, strengthen *team’s performance* and follow-on *value delivery*.**Go all the way to deliver VALUE!** **Dave Food** [Prophetic Technology](https://www.prophetic-technology.com/) **Subscribe to our emails & exclusive free content.** **[I want to subscribe](https://blog.prophetic-technology.com/cs/c/?cta_guid=0776642c-2604-4695-8e3f-f7a74f10031a&placement_guid=174cc371-9cdc-4b94-a32e-9007f0ac4dea&portal_id=2979069&canon=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.prophetic-technology.com%2Fovercoming-manufacturing-sc-challenges-with-digital-planning&redirect_url=APefjpG0H4rXbuG34OjbgL6WWSoQYNEv8WTOcMvbTHtTmH4icGB0LRRfRR_7JJSy1sXPwJK3NB-fqKy4RwzslIFWRhuUToDFOG74HfHFd4Tp0ZRap8g89dzjcIlyzktScQ92Qdf1OY8wZTGP2hL1F6f3Z_Qnq34s5uHQ2nKFygSVqHJIkeUhCtXj3HgUdGza7l8Y6ZKfRRoFHlAYmK0Tr2fvV-iYVIF4qzQjVAbW2SilUen31w8E8W2Rn10bWCEeV8sfrkwzyg16EdTBrgi2r0qs6N8KQXal48dyILI74gn7bsk_yXqtAFWvTauIxtqAcKRTskSA87kQ&click=3ab219ae-3007-433b-87a3-84db21ddcf9c&hsutk=9724d4a2324e477c9e07bd5bc116a679&signature=AAH58kGRjKqamR84cKUGy_FHQb_ArQRBRg&utm_referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.prophetic-technology.com%2F&pageId=25956085641&__hstc=108876957.9724d4a2324e477c9e07bd5bc116a679.1556898525657.1584979062263.1585332510651.100&__hssc=108876957.2.1585332510651&__hsfp=2088064629&contentType=blog-post)** - [procurement](https://blog.prophetic-technology.com/topic/procurement) - [supply chain](https://blog.prophetic-technology.com/topic/supply-chain) - - - ## Post Your Comments Here #### About Us Prophetic Technology is a team of dedicated people that combine their expertise in business domains with a passion to release potential.s every page it appears on.
