MyKnowledgeMap has launched its first iPhone application - a skills assessment tool for managers on the go.

MySkills offers managers a quick and easy way to identify their strengths and weaknesses. It contains skill areas based on UK government management standards which can be tailored to different kinds of management jobs. Users take assessments relevant to their job role and the application creates reports showing their skills gaps.

"Even though we've been involved in a number of high profile projects involving mobile technologies, iPhone applications are a brand new area for MyKnowledgeMap," said Dave Waller, MyKnowledgeMap's Product Manager.  "We are very excited to be moving into this emerging, innovative market and already working on our next app so watch this space."

MySkills is based on Capability Matrix, a fully customisable capability management system which helps organisations identify skills gaps and target training to the people and departments who need it most.  Capability Matrix is currently being used for a range of innovative solutions for clients such as NHS and CIPD.

MyKnowledgeMap has also launched a new website,  MKMApps, which will feature all of MyKnowledgeMap's upcoming iPhone applications. MySkills costs £1.19 and is available through mkmapps or directly from the iTunes store.
