Draft Models for Mapping Skills and Roles
The aim of the Workforce Change in Long Term Conditions programme has been to facilitate change in the design of local services and workforce and implement new ways of working. Through workshops we have worked together to learn and share relevant tools, techniques and information. One of the outcomes from a recent workshop has been the development of diagrammatical web-based tools that could be used by local communities to identify the skills required for their future workforce in Long Term Conditions. These models are work in progress and are only suggested templates. Our seven SHA sites will continue to rework and define them in more detail over the next few months.

This 3D Sphere shows a non exhaustive skills list for people working in long term conditions, arranged over the Kaiser triangle. The red bands indicate the type of skill and the blue bands the actual skill.
The base of the triangle, level 1, represents the 70-80 per cent of the long term conditions population who mainly self care. The middle section of the triangle, level 2, represents high risk patients, who need disease care management. Level 3, the top part of the triangle, represents the small percentage of patients with highly complex needs, who require case management.

Skills and Roles
-
Map current skills/competencies of current posts, or to map skills/competencies against how you would like posts to develop in the future
-
Map multiple posts on right hand side of tool with skills/competencies on left to identify current strengths, gaps, development needs in workforce as a whole
-
Map multiple posts on right hand side of tool with skills/competencies on left to create ideas for re-shaping current roles
-
(Using the twin map model) In top model, map posts on right hand side of tool with skills/competencies on left to identify current strengths, gaps, development needs in particular posts. In bottom model, change the skills/competencies of future posts to create ideas for re-shaping current roles.
In a workshop:
-
In small groups (3-6). Get individuals to do individual maps. Then transpose their results using small stickers onto a larger map (use copier to blow up to A3 version).
-
Use combined results to facilitate discussion: eg does everyone have the same understanding of skills/competencies in posts now? Does everyone have the same understanding of how skills/competencies need to change in future?
You can:
-
Expand, refine competency list on Left Hand Side
-
Use Right Hand Side of tool to imagine new roles
