To gain a bespoke action plan you need to complete an assessment. The assessment tool is located on your dashboard.

You can either take a personal assessment to benchmark your own knowledge, or a company assessment on behalf of your organisation. Company assessments can be completed as part of a team discussion or through your own evaluation of your company’s current skillset.
