Earliest concept of SKILLxShare. Prior to gamification concept

1. SKILLx
Share
Creating job makers,
not job seekers

2. Job making, not
seeking
• The key to SKILLxShare is that it is based on
sharing skills and interest locally to build
relationships and partnerships that can make
new jobs for people themselves.
• It is for pre-entrepreneurs: people who do not
yet have the confidence, cash or range of
skills to start a business alone but can by
sharing and working with others.

3. Finding your skills
• The key interest is finding out what
a user thinks of as their key skills
and interests.
• This is not a CV but a way of
actually communicating what
motivates a person and what they
want to do.
• The survey covers both their skills
(graphic, web, sales,
accountancy) and their interests
(making stuff to sell locally,
working together to win council
contracts, helping older people).

4. Skill & Interest Pie
• The Skill and Interests survey
is reformatted into a Pie Chart.
• This allows a colour coded
rather than text based
identification of personal
qualities.
• The Pie is the base level of
public information a user
provides without authorising
release of more personal data.

5. Swirl badge
• The user "swirls' their SKILLxShare
pie to create a personalised Swirl.
• The Swirl is the general icon for
app and web use and other users
can drill down through the Swirl to
the Pie.
• This can be used as an icon for
app/online ID as well as printed as
a badge.
• The Swirl can be used with both
2D and Augmented Reality
systems to link to more user detail.

6. Finding people
• Projected onto local map data,
everyone can see each other.
• The Swirl is the basic icon.
• A user can highlight another
person and select their icon
• The Swirl transforms to Pie and
allows a greater amount of detail
on skills and interests
• A user can then Tweet or
FaceBook the other person to
start a conversation.

7. Making jobs
• Having found a possible partner
with skills needed or similar
interest, the user can use Twitter
or Facebook to start a
conversation and find out more.
• Users can share more detail
from their Pie of specific skills.
• People can use the geo-location
to meet up and talk face to face
about what they can do
together to make jobs for
themselves.
