Skills for the Knowledge Worker

Know more about the tech tools you use. Focus on the skills you need.

"Don't be a know it all, be a learn-it-all"
 - Satya Nadella

Master role-specific skills, and demonstrate you know them. 

For the modern knowledge worker: Organize your portfolio of experience

Reference a role-specific index of skills and capabilities of a platform or service, with curated resources. Self-assess what you know or are learning. Capture, log, or journal what you've done with your skill and knowledge - for your benefit, the benefit of peers within your organization, and the benefit of a broader community. 

Know more. Grow more.

Learning takes time and effort. Make the most of your time by focusing efforts on the skills relevant to roles that matter to you.

Demonstrate and Educate

Capture and share your stories and experience. Build your portfolio.
Highlight solutions for peers at your organization.

Assess your skills
Define your roadmap

It's not a test. It's not a certification. It's a metric.

Periodically review role-specific and topic-aligned skills to identify next steps for skilling up and telling your story. Know what level you're at so you know where you want to go.
