Summary

Today marks an incredibly exciting milestone as we officially launch the first public version of our platform. This release lays the foundation for a connected personal and professional development ecosystem where individuals can build their skills, collaborate with others, and participate in engaging team-based experiences. While this is only the beginning, we're excited to share the core features that are now available and a glimpse into what's ahead.

What's New

For Individuals:

+ Profile and Dashboard

You can now create a profile on Untappedme and monitor your progress using the dashboard. After creating your account, you can build out your profile, showcase your education, experience, and connect with peers or other members of the community. Profiles are easy ways to personalise your Untappedme experience, grow your professional network, and collaborate with others when building your capability. Invite your friends to Untappedme and connect with them to use our built-in messaging system. Start conversation, exchange ideas, and track each other's journey.

+ Connections and Messaging

You can now search for your friends or peers and connect with them. You can also send your connections direct messages. Once your account is setup, you can use the search bar to find a friend and send them a connection request. Connections are peers that you can share your development journey with, from digital badges to messaging. The messaging system spans direct messages as well group chats and active support tickets. Whether you'd like guidance on where to progress next or simply want to share the development journey with someone, messaging and connections are a core part of your Untappedme journey.

+ SFIA Self Assessment

You can now select a SFIA skill and complete a self-assessment to indicate which level of responsibility you align with. To learn more about the SFIA framework, read our Help & Support documentation. SFIA Self-Assessments are crucial to your learning and development journey throughout Untappedme. For nearly all users, self-assessments are the first touchpoint is identifying your competencies such as strengths and weaknesses. Self-assessment data cumulates across your dashboard to display trends in real-time. You can use the composition metrics to understand which categories are outperforming others (e.g., Strategy and Architecture), or you can find new skills that you haven't explored yet.

+ SFIA Peer Review

You can now invite peers, colleagues, and connections to review your SFIA Self-Assessment. After completing a self-assessment, get a peer to review your responses and provide feedback on any misalignments. Peer Reviews are a great way to identify mismatches and strengthen your skills and competencies. Simply navigate to a SFIA skill you'd like to test and share a Peer Review with a connection. They'll receive a notification in their inbox inviting them to evaluate your responses.

+ Untappedme Compass

You can now take the Untappedme Compass tool to find which workstyles align with your preferences. Whether it's being a Creative and Conceptual Thinker or it's Analytical and Insight Explorer, each alignment reveals workstyle insights that support your best performance. The Untappedme Compass tool is built on the foundations of RIASEC and involves a questionnaire (30+ questions) that outputs 6 diverse workstyle focus domains. Each domain is ranked according to it's alignment strength. The 6 workstyle domains are: - Creative & Conceptual Innovator - Influence & Opportunity Driver - People & Impact Connector - Analytical & Insight Explorer - Practical Systems Doer - Structured & Detail Specialist When paired with the competencies identified through SFIA self-assessments, you have a clear pathway toward growth and unlocking your potential.

+ Neuroinclusion Assessments

You can now evaluate your workplace for neuroinclusion performance. Available in both individual (private/personal) and organisation (shared/growth orientated) formats. Neuroinclusion assessment tools are a great way to identify cultural, psychological, and physical barriers to performing at your best. They serve as a baseline

Compare badges with your friends and connections, and work together to unlock more credentials and build your capability.

Note: Organisations that would like to publish courses to the publicly accessible library can use the "Course Creator".

Notifications provide updates across new connections, referrals, peer reviews, contact tickets, and much more! To keep things tidy, any notifications that you don't need anymore can be added to your archive as well.

For Organisations:

+ Organisation Profile and Dashboard

You can now create an organisation profile on Untappedme and invite your team members to join. Organisations are ways to manage your team through a centralised portal. Whether you're interested in building your team's capability (SFIA, RIASEC, DigComp 3.0, etc.) or simply providing them with access to features such as Team Enablement, organisations are perfect for you! You may also set your organisation to invisible if you wouldn't like it to display publicly on Untappedme (i.e., keep your organisation hidden).

+ User Management and Roles

You can now invite new team members to join your organisation and assign them roles. Invite team members by using your organisation's unique access code. Share it with relevant team members and they can request to join your organisation. Team members gain access to your organisation's perks such as Team Enablement subscription, course, document, and article creators tools, as well unlocked content on the Learning Centre. Equally, team members sync with your organisation to update aggregate analytics across SFIA skills and other measurements. You can also allocate team members specific roles such as "admin" to assign them privileges and access to organisation settings.

+ Billing

You can now setup a centralised payment and billing method for your organisation. Content purchased on behalf of your organisation can use a single payment method managed through settings. This provides admins with a single access point to manage active subscriptions, purchases, and billing details.

+ SFIA Skills Overview

You can now unlock the full potential of your workforce! SFIA Skills are now seamlessly integrated with organisations. This means that admins can go to the SFIA Skills Overview and see analytics for: - SFIA Skills Growth - SFIA Self-Assessment rates (e.g., 75%) - Total SFIA Self-Assessments (e.g., 340) In addition, all SFIA Skills are now ranked for your organisation (1 to 147). This provides admins with a snapshot of capability; strengths, gaps, and everything in between. Rank #1 is your organisation's strongest capability (e.g., Data Management | DATM), while Rank #147 is your organisation's weakest. Clicking on a SFIA Skill will open an analytics panel that identifies resourcing, trends, volatility, and correlating skills. This panel is ideal for admin who are planning projects and need to ascertain capability across departments and teams.

+ Custom SFIA Skills

You can now create your own skills using the guidelines of the SFIA framework. While the SFIA framework provides a widely recognised and industry-agnostic framework for describing professional skills and capability levels, custom skills describe the ability for an organisation to create skill definitions at the granular level. Perhaps you're a forensic accountant, ethical hacker, game designer, or building automation specialist. No matter the profession or industry, custom skills ensure relevance to your organisation. Custom skills still use SFIA as the underlying guidance for definitions, with levels of responsibilities ranging from 1 to 7. This means that every custom skill integrates seamlessly with the SFIA Skills Overview and you retain analytics for all of them! We've also introduced some automation / AI integrated tools to speed up the process and maximise the value of this feature. These tools include: - Automated Skill Generation (generate descriptions and data with a single click) - Automated Self-Assessment Generation (create a self-assessment with a single click)

+ Neuroinclusion Self-Assessment

You can now identify areas for neuroinclusive improvement across your organisation. The Neuroinclusion Self-Assessment is based on several years of expertise within Untapped and spans several sections, each focusing on a different pillar of neuroinclusive action. This assessment is a great starting point in your organisation's neuroinclusive journey and a foundation for
