Determining gaps in data

Abstract:

Examples of techniques for performing a skill gap comparison between a first individual and a second individual (or group) are disclosed. In one example, a computer-implemented method includes receiving first data associated with the first individual and receiving second data associated with the second individual. The method further includes identifying preferences for performing the skill gap comparison and assigning a weight for each of a plurality of elements of the first data and the second data. The method further includes performing the skill gap comparison between the first individual and the second individual by comparing the first data to the second data. The method further includes generating a list of one or more skills for which there is a skill gap between the first individual and the second individual.
