NI Skill Matrix Audit

A Comprehensive Look at Your Team's Expertise

NI Skill Matrix Audit

In the world of automated test and measurement, a team's proficiency with National Instruments (NI) tools can be the difference between a project's success and costly delays. Our NI Skill Matrix Audit service provides a comprehensive assessment of your team's expertise, helping you identify skill gaps, allocate resources effectively, and develop a strategic plan for growth.

Is Your Team Ready for the Next Challenge?

Many companies rely on a handful of key engineers, which can create a single point of failure and limit growth. An NI Skill Matrix Audit answers critical questions about your team's capabilities:

  • Do we have the right skills to meet our project deadlines?

  • Are there hidden knowledge gaps that could lead to project risk?

  • How can we allocate our engineers more effectively across different projects?

  • What is the most impactful training for our team to pursue?

  • Is our team's knowledge at a "sustenance level" or ready for new, complex projects?

Our Structured Audit Process

We don't just give you a score; we give you a clear roadmap for success. Our audit process is designed to be thorough, objective, and collaborative.

  1. Comprehensive Assessment:

    We provide a 100-point assessment that covers a wide range of NI skills, including:

    • Software Proficiency: LabVIEW, TestStand, VeriStand, and other NI software environments.

    • Hardware Expertise: Experience with platforms like PXI, cDAQ, and other NI-related hardware.

    • Best Practices: Knowledge of software architecture, code quality, and documentation standards.

  2. Detailed Analysis:

    We analyze the assessment results to create a clear, visual skill matrix. This matrix provides a "heat map" of your team's collective strengths and weaknesses, highlighting areas of expertise and identifying critical gaps.

  3. Strategic Recommendations:

    Based on the audit results, we provide a detailed report with actionable recommendations. This includes:

    • Training Plan:

      A prioritized plan for upskilling your team with specific NI certifications or custom training modules.

    • Resource Allocation Strategy:

      Guidance on how to best assign your engineers to projects to leverage their strengths and mentor junior team members.

    • Hiring Roadmap:

      A clear profile of the skills you need to hire for to fill critical gaps.

  4. Action Plan Development:

    We work with you to develop a long-term strategy for maintaining a high-level of NI expertise within your organization, ensuring your team is not only current but also future-ready.
