Current market and shareholder pressure to realize shorter drug discover, development and approval times has never been greater. Many of the skills required to realize significant value from corporate R&D investments lay in the “specialist” and “expert” technical areas, such as the ability to quantitatively measure secreted sugar chains by preparing sugar chain antibodies (to give you an example of just one of the roughly 3,000 detail items). Skill Vision’s Bio Skill/map® offers you the opportunity to assess any number of your technical staff members in the skill areas you choose. The resulting human resource-based view of your knowledge workers will enable a far stronger alignment of your talent pool and recruitment efforts with your strategic objectives. The report you receive drills down into the detailed skill areas, which results then reflect back to their intermediate and major classifications. Numerous graphs and charts give you an immediate representation of the results; the detailed analysis helps you understand the competitive strengths and weaknesses of your organization, based on comparisons with other participants in this world-wide research study. A separate report includes an individualized analysis and set of recommendations based on earlier consultant discussions.
