Take yourself and your team to the next level and achieve your goals with Apolitical’s team skills tracker. It’s a quick, easy tool you can share with your team or colleagues to help them work out which skills they could be developing. Don’t lead a team? Use the tracker yourself to future-proof your career by developing key skills.
The short quiz will show you which key skills you could develop most, along with a guide on how to do so and resources that you can use to develop these further and gain new confidence.
Completing the quiz should take five to ten minutes.
The tracker is based on the skills that matter most to 21st century governments. We conducted two large-scale surveys on the needs of learning in government and asked our members what topics would be most useful to them. We added detail in interviews with public servants from a range of backgrounds.
We’ve identified six key skills that are important now and will become more valuable as government adapts to technological change and the rapid transformation of society.
- Change management
- Digital skills
- Strategic thinking
- Data skills
- Writing
- Leadership
This quiz is exclusively for public servants and policymakers. As such, it is only available to verified members of Apolitical.
