The practice’s free tools run the method on your own inputs, with the formula shown.
Training needs assessment
Map the skills each role needs against the skills people have today. The workbench scores every gap, weights it by importance and headcount, and drafts a prioritised training plan you can take to a board, ministry or funder.
Open the tool ↗Free toolRACI matrix builder
List the activities and the roles involved, then mark who is Responsible, Accountable, Consulted and Informed. The builder flags activities with no accountable owner, with two, or with no one doing the work.
Open the tool ↗Free toolStrategic plan template
Set out your purpose and priorities, then give every objective a measure, a target, an owner and a review date. The template drafts the plan outline and checks that nothing is left without someone accountable for it.
Open the tool ↗Free toolSOP template and process-control builder
Write a standard operating procedure with the trigger, the steps, who does each one, the controls and the records. The builder will not finish the SOP until every exception has an escalation path.
Open the tool ↗Free toolJob description template
Build a role profile from the work itself: responsibilities with a share of time, the competency each one needs and the level required. Requirements must trace back to a responsibility, so nothing is added that the job does not need.
Open the tool ↗Free toolSalary benchmarking worksheet
Record the salary evidence you hold for a role: source, date, sample size and the range it shows. The explorer weights each source by recency, size and match, and suppresses the range when the evidence is too thin to support one.
Open the tool ↗Documented experience.
Attributed roles behind this work, each with its source.
