Can you provide a real-world example of a company successfully using the 9-box grid for team development?

There are several alternative methods to the 9-box grid for assessing team member potential and performance. One such method is the Performance and Potential Matrix (PPM), which is similar to the 9-box grid but provides a more detailed analysis. Another method is the Skill/Will Matrix, which assesses an individual's skill level and willingness to perform a task. The Competency Matrix is another tool that assesses an individual's skills and competencies in relation to their job role. The SWOT Analysis can also be used to assess team member potential and performance by identifying an individual's strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats.

Global companies like Google or Apple can utilize the 9-box grid for team development by plotting their team members according to two criteria: Potential and Performance. This allows them to see the exact head count of how many employees fall into each category, and what percentage of the entire team these employees make up. This data can then be translated into a bubble chart for a visual representation. This method can help in identifying high performers and those with high potential, allowing for targeted skills training, coaching, and mentorship initiatives.
