Competency Mapping Engine
See what your competency framework actually measures.
The Thrive by Design Competency Mapping Engine maps your organisation's existing competency framework to Harvard's future-ready skills taxonomy. Nothing about how you describe your people needs to change.
What you learn
Where you align.
Where you align
Where the gaps are
What you miss
“Can you help us understand what our existing system is actually measuring against the standards set globally?”
What you learn
- Where you align. Which of your competencies match global future-ready skills.
- Where the gaps are. Competencies that are vague, overlapping or hard to observe.
- What you miss. Future-ready skills your framework does not measure at all.
How it works
Share your framework
Send us your competency framework as it stands.
We map it
Each competency is matched to the taxonomy. The engine has been independently verified at 95% accuracy against the reference repository.
We review it
Our team checks every mapping before it reaches you.
You receive a two page report
Alignment, gaps and a clear next step, in your own competency language.
When to use it
- Before you redesign or refresh a competency framework
- Before you commission new training, to see what it should target
- Alongside the Assessment Tool, so results read in your own language
Common questions
What does the Competency Mapping Engine do?
It maps an organisation's own competency framework against future-ready skills, showing where the framework is strong, where it overlaps and where expected behaviours need clearer definition.
What does it map against?
A reference taxonomy of 180 behaviours across 23 sub-domains and 6 domains, grounded in Harvard's research on future-ready skills.
How long does a mapping take?
About 20 minutes for the automated analysis, work that would otherwise take a team of analysts around two weeks.
What do we receive?
A mapping report and a review meeting to walk through the findings.
Do we need a framework already?
Yes. The engine works on an existing framework. If yours is still being built, we can map it once it is ready.
