The ObservatorySkills map
List your skills, rate how strong you are in each and how in demand they are, and see where development gives the most.

Why does it work?
Mapping your skills against what is in demand, and then setting a concrete development goal, builds on goal-setting theory. Specific, challenging goals give better results than "do your best". Source: Locke & Latham, goal-setting theory.
