It is not another gap log, it is the layer that decides which of your identified gaps get resourced first, across roles, sites and teams, using a defined scoring method rather than a flat High/Medium/Low guess.\n\u000f\nAbout This Template\nA skills gap analysis is the process of comparing verified workforce competence against role requirements, then ranking the resulting shortfalls by consequence, so that the gaps most likely to cause a safety, compliance or delivery failure are addressed before the gaps that are simply easiest to count.\nThis template assumes gap data already exists, from a skills audit, a skills matrix, or a direct assessment, and focuses entirely on the step most organisations skip: turning a list of gaps into a defensible, weighted, resourced priority order.\nDone correctly, this process tells you three things a simple gap list cannot: which gaps carry genuine consequence if left open, who owns closing each one, and what event should trigger a reassessment before the next scheduled review.\n\u000f\nHow to Use This Template\n\u000f\nSection 1 — Scope and Source Data\nComplete this section before scoring any gaps. Defining scope and source data upfront means every gap entered in Section 2 can be traced back to where it came from, which matters if an auditor asks how a priority ranking was reached.\n\u000f\nSection 2 — Gap Register\nList every identified gap here before scoring. This is the intake layer, if the gap came from a skills audit, reference the audit number in Source rather than re-describing the assessment. Add rows as needed.\n\u000f\nSection 3 — Consequence-Weighted Scoring\nThis is the step a flat High/Medium/Low rating skips. Score every gap from Section 2 against Severity and Likelihood separately, then multiply the two to get a Risk Score. This keeps a small, safety-critical gap from being outranked by a larger but low-consequence one.\nSeverity: what happens if this gap stays open?\nLikelihood: how probable is it that this gap gets exposed?\nRisk Score = Severity × Likelihood. Use the bands below to sort gaps into a priority order.\n\u000f\nSection 4 — Prioritised Action Plan\nCarry over gaps in Risk Score order, highest first. Every gap that scores Medium or above needs a named owner and a cost estimate, an unresourced gap on a priority list is still just a list.\n\u000f\nSection 5 — Sign-off and Review Cycle\nRemember: this is a live document between scheduled reviews. Any reassessment trigger defined in Section 4 should prompt an update here as it occurs, not wait for the next full cycle.\n\u000f\nLimitations of This Manual Template","cbCaifkEkt5mdMKk","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaifkEkt5mdMKk","docx",24733,9,"English","# How to Use This Template\n## Section 1 — Scope and Source Data\n## Section 2 — Gap Register\n## Section 3 — Consequence-Weighted Scoring\n## Section 4 — Prioritised Action Plan\n## Section 5 — Sign-off and Review Cycle","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of this skills gap analysis template?\",\"answer\":\"It converts a list of verified workforce competence gaps into a prioritised, resourced order using a defined scoring method, rather than a flat High/Medium/Low approach.\"},{\"question\":\"How are gaps scored in this template?\",\"answer\":\"Each gap is scored separately for Severity and Likelihood, then multiplied to produce a Risk Score used to sort gaps into a priority order.\"},{\"question\":\"What information must be captured in the prioritised action plan?\",\"answer\":\"Gaps scoring Medium or above require a named owner and a cost estimate, and reassessment triggers must update the live document when events occur.\"}]","Workprove Skills Gap Analysis Template - Using Consequence-Weighted Scoring | DOCX",1788294169]
