A skills matrix is useful to have. We use them to decide what contracts and projects we chase. Sometimes we use them to unearth areas we have no capability for then find a few people interested enough to dig in. Sometimes we find out there's plenty of interesting things and our competitors haven't a clue.

Its a tool. Like a chainsaw. You can use it to make ice sculptures or to hack off an arm. Metaphorically.
