PROXYMA COMPETENCES

The Proxyma Competences R&D project proposes an innovative approach to identifying and leveraging individual and collective skills based on actual activities—that is, those performed on the job.

Proxyma Competences comprises a software service based on web technologies designed to support a methodology for characterizing skills demonstrated during actual work activities, with the aim of providing modules for visualizing and leveraging these skills within organizations.

For the company, the benefits are very tangible:

• identifying a need before hiring

• tailoring training

• building work teams and identifying synergies

• optimizing business processes

• creating a competency framework

• implementing strategic management

A proof of concept led to the development of a prototype of the SaaS software service, which is currently being redeveloped to improve its software architecture, ensure its robustness, and add new modules. The estimated TRL is 4.
