The success of the 9-box depends crucially on what comes before and after. You must assess employees accurately before plotting the grid, and create development plans for every employee afterward to bring out their best contribution to your organization.  Take the 9-box from a yearly tick-box exercise to a dynamic assessment that reveals hidden talent and boosts performance from every employee.  Learn how…

When used inappropriately, the 9-box can become a tick-box exercise that hinders employee development. The 9-box loses its efficacy when the assessments used to fill out the grid are inaccurate, when biases are not corrected, when managers use different standards for assessment, and when the 9-box is not translated into development opportunities that connect to organizational goals.

This blueprint will help you to move toward open, honest, and collaborative talent assessment. You will invite employees to work together with managers to assess themselves, and discuss potential and growth opportunities so that employees feel empowered to act, rather than apprehensive about being assessed.

-        Transform the 9-box into a strategic tool by improving the quality of assessments that go into plotting employees on the grid.
