The Meeting of the Minds: Smarter Calibration, Stronger Succession
Who actually gets promoted…and why most companies get it wrong.
Most companies say they reward performance, but when it comes time to decide who gets promoted, developed, or trusted with more…well…that process gets fuzzy.
Calibration meetings turn into opinion battles. Tools like the 9-box are used inconsistently or ignored altogether.
And succession planning reverts back to a reactive activity when things get tough.
So, how do we drive those decisions with intention and clarity?
In this session, we’re digging into that.
We’ll start with a quick look at how platforms like Engagedly are approaching calibration and talent planning, bringing more structure, visibility, consistency, and a little peace of mind into the process.
But this isn’t just about tools.
It’s about how organizations intentionally grow their people and whether those decisions are actually fair, consistent, and aligned to actual performance (not just perception of performance).
What we’ll get into
Why calibration breaks down (even in well-intentioned teams)
The real role of the 9-box (and where it goes wrong)
How disconnected performance and succession decisions create bias
What it looks like to connect performance → potential → opportunity
Where AI and systems can support better, more consistent decisions
