Map your expertise

Yesterday I lamented the waste of not knowing what people have experienced when they join the team. So here’s what to do: Map the expertise.
Not a spreadsheet or a folder of resumes/CVs that no one will ever read. Make a map of your expertise and make it visible and available. I call them ‘experience maps’.
1. Schedule an 'experience share' meeting now.
2. Give people time to prepare their map.
3. Everyone talks through what they’ve done and shows their experience map.
4. The map lives on and can be updated over time.
A learning-focused organisation sees the efficiency, and practicality of involving people to capture, hear and see the experience in the business. And then they leverage it. It’s wasteful, ignorant and unproductive not to.
What about you? What skills or experience do you have that people wouldn’t know?
