One of the key features of Bramble is the ability to organize skills into categories, which can be configured by the system owner. This makes it easy to keep track of the various skills your team members possess and helps to ensure that everyone is working to their full potential.
To get started, we recommend setting up three main categories: Job Skills, Technical Skills, and Soft Skills.
Job Skills
Job skills are skills that are directly related to one or more Bramble Production Tasks. These can be very specific skills that are required for a particular task, or more general skills that are required for multiple tasks. It's also possible that a task may require several different skills to be completed, in which case it's a good idea to link it to multiple skills.
We recommend dedicating one category to job-related skills, as they are often the most important skills that your team members will need to perform their jobs effectively.
Technical Skills
Technical skills are specific software and technical tools that your team members may need to use on a daily basis. This could include tools such as SalesForce, Figma, or Excel, as well as any other software or hardware that is essential to your team's work.
By organizing technical skills into a separate category, it's easy to see at a glance who has the expertise needed to use specific tools and who may need additional training or support.
Soft Skills
Soft skills are non-technical abilities that are also essential for success in the workplace. These might include communication, customer service, leadership, and other interpersonal skills that are required to work effectively in a team.
By creating a separate category for soft skills, it's easy to keep track of who has the necessary abilities to work well with others, and who may need additional training or support to improve their interpersonal skills.
Overall, organizing skills into categories is an essential part of Bramble, and can help to ensure that your team members are working to their full potential. By taking the time to set up these categories and ensure that your team members are properly trained and supported, you can help to create a more efficient and effective workplace.
Leadership Skills
Leadership skills are an essential element of soft skills. They are the abilities that enable an individual to guide, inspire, and influence a group toward achieving common goals. These skills include effective communication, problem-solving, decision-making, and emotional intelligence. Leaders must build trust, foster collaboration, and provide clear direction while adapting to challenges. Vision-setting is a cornerstone of leadership, as it involves defining goals and motivating teams to work toward them. Additionally, leaders must be empathetic, understanding the needs and motivations of team members to create a supportive environment.
Strong leadership also involves strategic thinking and the ability to manage conflicts constructively. Delegation, time management, and resilience are critical for balancing competing priorities and sustaining team morale. Leaders are also expected to demonstrate accountability, serving as role models who take responsibility for their actions and decisions. Whether in corporate settings, community organizations, or personal endeavors, leadership skills are essential for fostering innovation, driving change, and achieving success.
Certifications
Certifications are credentials granted by a certifying body to individuals who have demonstrated a certain level of competency or expertise in a particular field or skill set. These credentials typically require candidates to undergo some form of training or education and then pass an examination or meet other criteria to demonstrate their proficiency. Certifications can be industry-specific, covering areas like information technology, healthcare, project management, or finance, among others. They serve as a way for professionals to validate their skills and knowledge to employers, clients, or peers, and can often enhance career prospects or earning potential.
A separate category for certifications will enable leaders to identify those who have the ability to support any specific work or also identify any gaps.
Data Analytics
Data analytics is the process of examining large sets of data to uncover patterns, trends, correlations, and other insights that can inform decision-making and drive business strategies. It involves the use of various techniques, tools, and technologies to extract meaning from data and derive actionable insights.
This skill category is particularly useful to identify talent who can support leaders in deriving insights for growth and transformation.
System
System skills refer to the abilities required to understand, analyze, and manage complex systems or processes, ensuring that they operate efficiently and achieve their intended goals. These skills involve recognizing how different components of a system interact and how changes in one part can affect the whole. System skills are crucial in fields like engineering, business management, logistics, and technology, where individuals must manage interconnected processes or structures.
Examples of system skills include systems thinking, which involves analyzing a problem in the context of the larger system, and systems evaluation, where a person assesses how a system performs relative to its objectives. They also include skills like resource management, process optimization, and troubleshooting. By mastering system skills, individuals can design, monitor, and improve systems to adapt to changing conditions and meet organizational or societal needs effectively.
