Why MuchSkills outperforms traditional skills matrices

Traditional skills matrices quickly become:

Overly complex

As organisations grow, static spreadsheets become difficult to manage, scale and trust.

Difficult to update

Over time, manual updates make it hard to maintain accurate, reliable skills data.

Hard to interpret

In the example above, understanding Giselle Grant's skills profile requires your eyes to move up and down 17 times. 🙄
