Talent assessment and segmentation

In the last post(Functional Competency Assessment Form), a method and format was described to find the gap between the present level and required level of competencies and subsequently a lead/lag ratio was calculated. Now the question comes where to use the lead/lag ratio? In this post the ratio will be used to identify and assess the talent and consequently to make  talent pool. This talent pool is a pool of potential candidates which may be considered for promotions in future and for succession planning. Further this exercise has vast applications. it may be used for cross-training, training need identification, multi-skilling, transfers to other departments depending upon the the skills possessed by the employee, skill based incentives, etc. Again this is a connecting post hence the methodology and step by step procedure may be read from previous posts. You may start it as:

1)Competency Mapping(CM)
2)What is competency?
3) Steps involved in Competency Mapping
4)Purpose and benefits of Functional Competency Mapping
5)Performance and potential matrix
6)Methodology for Functional competency Mapping
7)Employee Information Form(EIF)
8)Technical/Functional Competency Dictionary
9)Functional Competency assessment form
10)Now Talent assessment and segmentation
