PRACTICAL WORKSHEET

Gap analysis

Identify missing experience and agree work that would help you gain it.

SELF-MANAGED RECORD

Use the worksheet for your own planning and reflection. For a formal submission, use the current ICE or IStructE form. Completing a worksheet does not certify competence.

What to record

01

Attribute area

One row for each of the seven.

02

My grade of evidence

Your own honest assessment.

03

Mentor's grade

Filled in independently, before comparing.

04

Best example I have

If you cannot name one, that is the finding.

05

What is missing

Be specific: 'no budget I controlled' rather than 'commercial'.

06

Development action

A named responsibility, not a course.

07

Who can arrange it

Line manager, SCE, mentor, or you.

08

By when

Development without a date does not happen.

Use it well

  • Grade separately from your mentor and compare. The divergence is the useful conversation.
  • Pick two areas, not seven.
  • A gap is closed by doing different work, never by rewording existing work.
