Skill Atlas

See what you know. Discover what we can do.

A growing, neural-style map of skills learned at work and in everyday life. The concept combines short daily skill check-ins with connected team maps to reveal strengths, learning opportunities and capability gaps. Skill Atlas is a working title.

Idea / Working hypothesis

Working title / Concept only

A living map of what people can do.

Skills rarely grow in a straight line. Connect what you learn privately and at work, then see how your strengths could fit with the people around you.

01 / Possible path

From daily learning to collective capability.

  1. Capture a skill

    Record something learned through work, a personal project, a course or everyday practice.

  2. Explore it daily

    A short, visually engaging skill check, reflection or mini-challenge adds context to what you know.

  3. Grow the network

    Skills become connected nodes. Practice, examples and learning open new links in a neural-style map.

  4. Connect the team

    With chosen skills shared, overlapping strengths and missing capabilities become visible across people.

02 / Connected knowledge

Personal knowledge. A shared picture.

  • Work experience
  • Personal projects

What teams can see

  • Who knows what
  • Complementary strengths
  • Learning opportunities
  • Capability gaps

A short test is a signal, not proof of mastery. The concept should distinguish self-assessment, practice and demonstrated work—and let people choose what they share.

03 / Opportunity horizons

From one person to a connected team.

  1. Personal growth

    A visual map that evolves through small daily interactions, showing connections and possible next learning steps.

  2. Team development

    Help team leaders find internal expertise, connect complementary people and plan where to develop new skills.

  3. HR connection

    Explore integration with HR tools to inform development and recruitment needs. People remain responsible for hiring decisions.

04 / Open decisions

What the first prototype should establish.

How should skills, relationships and different kinds of evidence be represented?
Daily experienceTo define
Which short checks or challenges feel useful enough to return to without becoming another task?
Sharing boundariesTo define
What stays personal, what is shared with a team and what may HR access?
First team use caseTo define
Can the map help a team find expertise or identify a real learning need better than its current approach?
