R.A.N.D. Career Profile: High Potential Identification
The R.A.N.D. Career Profile Survey is where Science Meets Potential. This survey is completed by the manager(s) of those considered to have high potential. Managers assess employees against observable behaviors in a user-friendly experience. Results are provided to the talent leader for analysis and insights that drive succession planning, career assignments, and developmental prioritizations, to name a few.
High Potential Sorting Cards
Putting the science directly in managers hands, sorting cards provide accurate language and descriptions to elevate the high potential conversations.
What behaviors will define High Potential employees in your organization? You can answer this critical question using sort cards to reduce subjectivity. The outcome? Solid plans can be implemented throughout a talent system.
High Potential Field Guide
The Field Guide integrates all of the research on Potential into a practical go-to resource. The field guide provides you with a thorough look at the Markers, Drivers, and Practices including:
- Linkages of the Markers, Drivers, and Practices to developmental assignments
- Why each Practice is Important and observable definitions
- Where the Practice fits in the Potential conversation
- How to measure performance in each Practice
- What happens when the Practice is done poorly
- Brain insights from recent neuroscience to fuel development
- Interview guidelines for identifying and promoting Potential
