While organizations invest heavily in learning programs, many still struggle to answer a critical question: what skills do we truly have, and where are the gaps? 

That’s where Skill Insights come in. 

Skill Insights go beyond traditional learning analytics. They offer a real-time, data-driven view of workforce capabilities, helping organizations identify strengths and make skill gaps analysis. Not only that, but they also empower leaders to make informed decisions about training investments, workforce planning, and business readiness. 

At Tekstac, we’ve reimagined how Skill Insights are built and used. 

What Are Skill Insights? 

Skill Insights are comprehensive, analytics-based assessments of employees’ skills. They combine quantitative data (like assessments, certifications, and performance metrics) with qualitative inputs (like feedback and project outcomes) to give organizations a clear, holistic view of workforce capabilities. 

Unlike conventional skill mapping, which often relies on self-reported data, Skill Insights are dynamic and validated through continuous learning and performance tracking.

With Skill Insights, leaders can: 

• Understand their workforce’s current skill landscape 
• Identify skill gaps across roles and business units 
• Align training programs to organizational goals 
• Predict future capability needs 
• Track how learning translates into real-world performance 

In short, Skill Insights turn learning into measurable business value. 

Tekstac’s Unique Approach to Building Skill Insights

Tekstac’s vision is to create a dynamic and evolving database of skill profiles, what we call the SkillTag. 

A SkillTag isn’t static; it evolves alongside an individual’s professional journey. Each SkillTag reflects a learner’s real-time growth, capturing how skills are acquired, applied, and advanced within the organization. 

Our Skill Insights framework combines three powerful methods: 

1. Assessment-Driven Insights 

Tekstac’s pre-assessment engine allows employees to gauge their proficiency levels across specific skills. The results categorize individuals as beginner, intermediate, or advanced, providing a clear foundation for the organization’s skill inventory. 

2. Experience-Based Profile Building

Not all expertise can be measured through assessments alone. For experienced professionals, Tekstac enables the creation of skill profiles based on self-declared data, verified by managers or cross-referenced with organizational records. This ensures that practical experience and institutional knowledge are accurately represented.  

3. Integration with Existing Skill Inventories

Many organizations already maintain some level of skill tracking through performance reviews or project data. Tekstac integrates this information, enriching it with insights from our assessments and learning modules.  

From Data to Direction: Turning Skill Insights into Action

Skill Insights are only valuable when they drive measurable action. Tekstac’s platform makes this possible through a suite of analytics and visualization tools: 

• Growth Path Analyzer helps employees identify skill gaps for internal mobility and choose between organization-mandated or aspirational growth paths.
• Skill Inventory & Analytics tracks progress, identifies gaps, and helps optimize workforce development. 
• Predictive Analytics enables program planning, skill availability forecasting, and proactive learning interventions. 
• Role vs. Skill Gap Analysis ensures employees are matched to the right roles and receive the right upskilling recommendations. 
• Reports & Dashboards provide visibility for leadership, operations, trainers, and learners, creating a shared language of skill growth across the enterprise. 

As employees grow, AI continuously updates their SkillTags, detecting evolving skills from day-to-day activities, keeping profiles current.

They give leaders confidence that they have the right capabilities to execute technology strategy. Teams can benchmark expertise across roles, accelerate release cycles, and build reliable, secure products.
