Grouped horizontal bar chart pairing current and aspirational skill scores in coral and light blue beside a written analysis column.
Summary
The skills version of the paired comparison: each skill shows a coral "Current" bar and a light-blue "Aspirational" bar, titled "Current vs. aspirational skills", with three analysis paragraphs on the left.
Visual description
Cream background, hairline running header (chapter label left, "25" right). A two-line dark headline tops the slide. The left third runs three dark body paragraphs with bold terms; the right two-thirds is a grouped horizontal bar chart. Each skill row carries two stacked, labelled bars: salmon-coral current over pale-blue aspirational, with values printed at the bar ends. A small two-swatch legend keys the colors. The visible gaps (e.g. Generative AI Proficiency jumping from current to aspirational) are the point. Grey question footnote below; deck-slug annotation bottom-right.
Key takeaway
A consistent paired-bar comparison reused across both competencies and skills so the deck builds a recognisable "current vs. aspirational" motif. Two palette tints, value labels on every bar, and a tiny legend are all the chart needs.
Reuse notes
Reach for it whenever a survey deck needs to show present level against desired growth across many items. Pair-stacking is more compact than side-by-side grouping for long lists. Keep current/aspirational colors fixed across every such slide so readers learn the code once.
