What a nine-box grid brings to a talent review
A nine-box grid crosses three performance bands with three potential bands. Its value is in making the criteria and development conversation visible; a position in a box is a judgment to examine.
Use it during calibration
The grid helps reviewers compare how they applied the same criteria across a team. It is less useful when potential is undefined or managers have very different amounts of evidence.
Make every placement explainable
- Define both axes. Current performance and readiness for a future role answer different questions.
- Use a common period. Compare evidence from the same review window.
- Require supporting observations. Do not infer potential from a job title or a short personality description.
- Allow an unresolved status. Missing evidence should not become a low rating.
- Plan a review date. Placements describe a point in time and need reconsideration.
A canvas for the calibration conversation
MyMap lays out the supplied ratings and notes so you can ask for revisions. The product-team example includes named profiles and suggested actions; treat those as illustrative discussion material rather than employee assessments.

Common questions
Does AI decide who has high potential?
Provide your criteria and ratings. The grid can organize them, but sparse notes are not a sound basis for an automated judgment about a person.
Is a nine-box grid the same as a performance ranking?
No. It combines a view of current performance with a separate assessment of potential under defined criteria.
Can I leave a person unplaced?
Yes. Ask for an evidence-needed area and keep the profile there until reviewers can support both ratings.
