- Community Transformation & Outreach: While there is a strong competency in stakeholder engagement, staff show a gap in digital engagement tools, specifically for reaching younger, tech-savvy audiences. This could hinder effective outreach, particularly in rural areas.
- Institutional Excellence & Compliance: A significant gap in digital compliance tools and reporting methods, which could affect the quality and speed of compliance assessments, especially as SayPro scales.
- Human Resources: A gap exists in the proficiency of HRIS tools, which affects the effectiveness of talent management and tracking. There is also a need for more data-driven decision-making in recruitment and performance management.

- Upskilling Programs: Develop tailored training programs for staff in departments like HR, Finance, and Compliance, with a focus on enhancing proficiency in digital systems and tools.
- Cross-Department Collaboration: Foster greater collaboration between departments to share expertise and address gaps in a cross-functional manner (e.g., HR collaborating with IT on HRIS tools).
- Strategic Workforce Planning: Continue to assess the skills and competencies of staff on a quarterly basis to ensure alignment with evolving strategic priorities.
6. Conclusion
