Talents in Boxes – Do You Really Know Who the Star of Your Team Is?
The 9BOX method is a talent management tool that takes into account current performance and potential for development. By analyzing these two key dimensions, leaders can make better decisions regarding development, promotions, and resource allocation.
Practical applications of 9BOX include succession planning, recruitment optimization, team restructuring, and performance management system assessment. This method allows for a balance in team structure and identifying potential organizational issues. Although 9BOX is most effective in medium to large organizations, it can also be successfully applied in managing smaller teams. Implementing this method enables more thoughtful and intentional team development, identifying gaps, and assessing team potential.
Implementing 9BOX requires regular reviews involving HR and managers, training for managers, and calibration of assessments across teams. Although this tool has its limitations, it is valuable as a starting point for discussions about talent and developmental actions. Through the implementation of 9BOX, organizations make more strategic decisions regarding team management and investments in employee development.
