Traditionally, skills analysis exercises have been labour-intensive,
manual exercises – often restricting their usefulness and uptake,

Using digital forms, such as the ones in Digits LMS, to capture skills analysis information makes the whole process more accessible and user-friendly – improving uptake. And, because the results are stored against users’ records in Digits LMS, and the solution offers automatic learning suggestions – using content already stored in your system – the whole exercise is more useful, too. All this adds up to higher learner engagement, improved skills, and better organisational outcomes.
