Stage 4 of 6

Map your people to the functions before you discover the gaps.

Once you have a committed group, inventory your skills honestly against the 24 roles. Most groups discover early that they have enthusiastic farmers but no mechanic; a great teacher but no one with medical training; three people who want to do governance and no one who wants to manage procurement. Better to know now.

Key questions & considerations

  • 1.Have each member self-assess their skills against each role
  • 2.Identify primary holders for each role
  • 3.Identify gaps — roles with no holder or only one
  • 4.Design dual-role assignments using the compatibility matrix
  • 5.Plan to recruit for critical gaps before launch
