9 Box Grid – Performance and Potential
To assess Performance and Potential we use a tool or model called a
9 Box Grid.
Assessing Performance and Potential
Performance
Consistent with our values - we
have developed leadership
assessment criteria to assess our
future leaders.
• Market and Customer Focus
• Delivering through people
• Results orientation
• Integrity and teamwork
• Functional capability
We assess on a 3 point scale and
average out.
Potential
Having a common definition for
Potential is critical to the process.
Critical Role Assessment
(Succession Depth)
The assessment of Performance and Potential informs the assessment of
our internal succession depth against designated roles.
