Unlocking the Power of Filtered Analytics

Filtered Analytics empowers you to execute your skills strategy using data-driven insights, anchored by the robust skill mapping at the heart of our platform. It enables you to analyse your entire content library in relation to your skills framework, allowing you to leverage that skills data to curate targeted learning plans and pathways for your learners.

Insightful content analysis

Filtered is all about matching your content to your skills. But that is just the first step. Once we have a full catalogue of perfectly tagged content matched to your skills the fun can really begin. We have been running our ‘Content Value’ analysis for a while now, but with Filtered Analytics, that power is now in your hands.

Finding content gaps

We know how it is - you're spearheading a new learning initiative focused on developing leadership and management skills. Where do you start? Where is your content? Do you even have the right content?

By using Filtered Analytics you can very quickly narrow down the content that best serves your use case to find out if you have the correct coverage for the task at hand. For example:

Knowing that leaders often have limited time, you decide to start with short videos reflecting the behaviours your senior leadership team wants to model. By leveraging Filtered Analytics, you can, in just a few short clicks, drill-down within your content library and start work!

Conversely, let's say you need to do the same for content related to digital collaboration, you might discover a significant gap in video coverage. This insight highlights an area where additional content is needed to support skill development and your initiatives.

Pretty handy, right?

"A customer used Filtered Analytics to assess the depth of skill coverage for 75,443 assets across five content libraries. This analysis was done against 189 skills and 8 skill groups. By doing this, they identified content gaps and better planned the focus for their curation teams. As a result, they could pinpoint areas for improvement, allocate resources to the most critical areas, and set clear priorities for content curation, ultimately informing their overall strategy."

Broad content overview

While Filtered Analytics can help with the hyper-specific, it can also provide a comprehensive overview of your entire content library. You can see which skills are well-represented and which ones are lacking. You can see which of your providers are covering similar areas with similar content, potentially freeing up some of that content to spend more to fill those gaps or use that budget elsewhere.

Whatever the need, Filtered Analytics is there to make sure you are getting the best value out of your content and ensure you have the right coverage for any project.

Streamlined curation efforts

Once you've organised your content, Filtered Analytics can further enhance your curation efforts.

You have content matched to skills, but that content also makes up your learning plans and pathways - so you can also see the make-up of curated content, which skills it covers, where it’s relevant, recent and diverse or otherwise.

Pathway analysis

Filtered Analytics allows you to analyse all the pathways within our platform. You can select any pathway and view the skills associated with its content. Taking it a step further, you can review skills across all pathways to identify strengths and weaknesses in skills coverage.

For example, if you focus on leadership and management skills, you might find robust coverage of high-performing teams, giving feedback, coaching, and mentoring. However, you might notice a lack of pathways addressing people management, goal setting, and delegating. This insight enables you to prioritise curation efforts where they are most needed.

We can also help in analysing the pathways and plans you have curated outside of Filtered to get you kick started - just talk to us if you are interested.

Conclusion

We've just scratched the surface of the wealth of possibilities Filtered Analytics enables. Whether you're identifying content gaps or streamlining your curation efforts, Filtered Analytics provides the insights you need to make informed decisions. And this is just the beginning—there's much more to explore with Filtered Analytics! If you'd like to learn more just book a demo.
