Radar Chart System for Employee Skill Visualization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current information systems, particularly databases and spreadsheets, are cumbersome for visualizing and analyzing employee skills, leading to errors and increased time in identifying suitable candidates for positions or team formations due to the difficulty in handling and comparing multiple skills across candidates.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus utilizing a radar chart system within a graphical user interface to display and analyze skills, where skills are identified for a group of people and displayed on a radar chart with axes representing each skill, allowing for the visualization of skill balances and desired values, facilitating easier comparison and selection.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If spreadsheets or reports are used to analyze employee skills, then information can be exported and manipulated, but the analysis becomes more difficult and cumbersome as the number of candidates and skills increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual spreadsheet manipulation with an automated visualization system that uses graphical interfaces and algorithms to analyze and display skill data, eliminating the need for users to manually handle complex spreadsheets
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a visualization system as an intermediary between the raw skill data and the user, providing graphical representations that simplify the analysis process while maintaining the underlying data integrity
2Loss of information
If bar charts or line charts are generated to visually display skill information, then overall scores can be displayed, but additional details about skill levels make visualization more difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from one-dimensional bar charts and line charts to two-dimensional radar charts, adding visual dimensions that allow multiple skill variables to be displayed simultaneously without increasing complexity, enabling both overall scores and detailed skill levels to be visualized effectively
3Quantity of substance
If databases are used to store employee information, then information can be stored and searched, but combining and visualizing information is cumbersome and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual information combination and visualization processes with automated computational algorithms that efficiently retrieve, integrate, and display skill data from databases, dramatically reducing the time required to analyze employee information
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a multi-functional system that simultaneously performs database querying, data integration, statistical analysis, and graphical visualization, eliminating the need for separate processes for each task

AI summary
A method, computer system, and computer program product for analyzing skills. The method identifies the skills for a group of people and displays the skills identified on a radar chart in a graphical user interface in a display system. The radar chart has axes extending from a common origin in which a skill in the skills for a person in the group of people is displayed on an axis in the axes corresponding to the skill. A balance of skills is identified for the group of people. The balance of skills has desired values for the skills needed for the group of people. The balance of skills for the group of people is displayed in the radar chart.
