Professional Development Gap Analysis

Interpersonal Skills

We could not find good resources on what employees should know about networking within government. We found some guidance for HR professionals who might stand up networking programs within their agencies, but no materials for employees themselves.

Mentorship

We found a few resources targeted at standing up a mentorship program and being an effective manager-mentor. However, we could not find resources for mentees to help them get the most out of their mentorship experience. We also could not find resources that help employees identify and reach out to potential mentors outside of a formal agency program.

Management

While we uncovered many resources on being an effective manager in government (and how to evaluate a managers’ performance), we could not find materials that specifically address managing technical teams. This includes resources on managing technologists transitioning from industry. We also could not find resources on connecting teams across disciplines – for example, helping tech teams collaborate effectively with non-technical ones.

Leadership

While we uncovered many resources on development leadership skills in government, we found very few resources specifically dedicated to leadership skills for technologists in government. Resources should be developed specifically for improving leadership competencies for government technology leaders.
