You can add capability guides to an existing role guide or while creating a new one.
To do so, open the role guide from the Role Guides listing page and click the
Capability Guides tab. You can either create a capability guide
from scratch or reuse an existing capability guide.
You can reuse an existing capability guide in one of two ways:
- Reuse it only by reference, which means you can’t edit it. Whenever the
collaborators or the author of the source capability guide update it, those
changes will be reflected in this reused capability guide.
- Make a copy of an existing capability guide and make changes to that copy.
However, any changes that the author or collaborators make to the original
capability guide won’t reflect in your copy.
If you’re creating a capability guide from scratch, these are the details you need to
provide:
-
Enter a name and description for the capability guide.
You can click AI Assist in the Description box to use
generative AI to create a description for the capability guide. GenAI will
consider the role guide name, its description if available, and the
capability guide name and its description if available, and generate a
relevant description based on these. After the text is generated, you can
make further edits, as required.
-
Specify how others can reuse the guide. You can also choose not to allow
reuse.
-
In the Days to complete tasks field, enter how many days
an employee (who’s assigned the role guide) can take to complete the tasks that
are listed in the capability guide to attain the skills in that guide.
-
In the Required skills section, add the skills that an
employee must attain to fulfill the requirements of the capability guide.
Note: If you don't see any skills in this section, check
whether you've added Skills Center section to the content section of the
Guide Requirements profile type. To check this, go to .
-
After adding a skill, edit the skill to add or change skill attributes, such as
whether the skill is required for achieving readiness, mastery, or both in the
role, the level required for readiness and/or mastery, minimum years of
experience required in the skill, importance of the skill, and skill type.
Note: You must select a value from the Required
For list. If it's not selected, employees can't see the
skill listed on the Skills Assigned by Your
Leadership tab on their Know Your Role page in Grow.
-
In the Task to attain required skills section, search
for and add learning courses that will help the employee attain those skills.
When you click inside the search box, you’ll see a list of suggested learning
items that have outcomes that are the same as one or more of the required skills
you added. When the employee completes a learning item, their talent profile is
updated with these skill outcomes.
You might also see learning tasks that don’t have the same skill outcomes as
the ones you added. However, when the role guide is assigned to employees,
these tasks won't be assigned to them. The intent of adding these tasks is
to allow role guide authors to continue creating the role guide, and later
go back to their learning application to add these outcomes to those
learning items, or request the learning administrator to add them. In the
interim, you’ll see a warning that reads Task doesn’t help attain
skill.
-
In the Resources for required skills section, search for
and add other learning resources that will supplement the learning tasks. The
learning items suggested in this search box don’t update an employee’s talent
profile on completion.
What to do next
Assign the role guide to workers.
