Professional Skills
Management Framework​

For some time now members have been asking for help with the practicalities of skills management. In particular, we know that organisations need to understand how their role profiles compare with industry standard roles; how to manage skills development within their teams and identify significant gaps; how to map development needs against available training providers; and how to draw up individual action plans for team members.

Our Professional Skills Management Framework (PSMF) platform has recently undergone a number of changes, and now addresses all of the issues above. Based on the popular SFIA framework (recently upgraded to version 9), PSMF is available in two versions:

  • PSMF Personal, which is free to members and offers self-assessment, individual profiles, skill gap analysis, and comparison with standard industry roles; and
  • PSMF Business, which allows companies to manage and monitor the skills development of their team, with automated reporting, candidate matching, tailored training and much more.

Compare the two options in the table below and view our two videos for more information. Then follow the free self-assessment link to try PSMF for yourself.
