Competency Assessment & Analytics

Centranum’s Competency Assessment & Analytics module enables organizations to evaluate workforce capability with precision and depth. Go beyond traditional performance reviews and skills matrices—assess actual, demonstrated competencies and uncover the real-time capability landscape across teams, departments, and regions.

Whether you’re supporting frontline operations or strategic leadership development, this module empowers evidence-based decision-making to drive performance, reduce risk, and ensure continuous alignment to role requirements.

Our modular platform connects core role expectations with real-world assessment and actionable intelligence — all in one integrated system.

Centranum’s modular design ensures every competency assessment is grounded in role expectations, validated through flexible methods, and translated into actionable insight. Here’s how the pieces connect:

The Competency Library and Mapping tools provide the foundation: defining what good looks like, and linking each competency to the roles, projects, or regulatory standards that require it. The Assessment & Analytics module builds on that by enabling flexible, evidence-based evaluation — from self-assessments and expert observation to knowledge testing and 360 feedback. Together, these tools power real-time dashboards, gap analysis, and targeted development planning across your workforce.

• Observation-based assessments by managers, mentors, or Subject Matter Experts
• Self-assessment for employee reflection and development tracking
• Peer/expert validation (structured or open feedback)
• Evidence uploads (documents, photos, logs) linked to specific indicators
• Knowledge testing via integrated, auto-scored MCQs tied to competencies
• 360-degree feedback integration (with or without anonymity)

Note that completed training is recorded separately – not as inferred competency.

Profiles are the templates used for assessments.   Assessments may be of  achieved competency level or of achievement against required proficiency levels which may vary by competency or indicator.
