According to the documented requirement for specificity during Gap Identification, what detail should replace the general note "needs management skills"?
Lacks documented experience leading a cross-functional budget review for at least six months
The Gap Identification phase in the career mapping process demands a high degree of specificity when detailing what separates an individual's current profile from their target profile. The text explicitly warns against using vague statements like "needs management skills." Instead, the gap must be documented with precise, verifiable criteria that reflect real-world experience. The example provided illustrates this necessary specificity: the gap should be documented as lacking the documented experience of leading a cross-functional budget review for a specific duration, such as six months. This level of detail ensures that the subsequent Action Planning phase targets exactly the right experience or competency needed to bridge the distance to the aspirational role.
