Announcer: The e-Learning Lingo Podcast.
Mary Kay Lofurno: Hello, this is Mary Kay Lofurno, Marketing Director here at SyberWorks, and welcome to the 34th episode of the e-Learning Lingo Podcast Series.
Last week, Dave Powell discussed “carousel brainstorming.” This week, Dave will talk about a term used in performance management, skill gap analysis. So I ask you, do you know your e-Learning Lingo?

Mary Kay: Hi, Dave. So explain skill gap analysis for us.
David Powell: Skill gap analysis is a method for preparing an individual's skills against those that are required to perform a job to which they have been or will be assigned. This analysis normally starts with a list of all required skills and assigns an individuals rating for each skill.
Mary Kay Lofurno: Thanks a lot, Dave! Have a great afternoon!
David Powell: Thank you. You too.
