Less Details

At CDK, the Talent Management team has redefined traditional approaches to talent assessment and performance management. Moving away from the conventional nine-box grid, CDK has adopted an innovative Talent Action Planning (TAP) process that simplifies talent reviews and focuses on actionable outcomes. CDK’s alternate approach – dividing talent into four key profiles – enables more effective differentiation and targeted development strategies. By concentrating on performance and potential in a streamlined manner, the process not only saves time but also enhances the quality of development conversations. This approach helps leaders make more efficient and impactful talent decisions, ultimately fostering stronger organizational growth.

In this presentation you will learn:

  • How TAP process simplifies traditional talent reviews, enabling more efficient and focused talent assessments
  • Why we moved away from the conventional nine-box model, and how the four-profile approach enhances talent differentiation and development
  • How to effectively utilize the TAP framework to drive meaningful development conversations and prepare employees for their next career steps
