GE Nine-Box Grid

The GE Nine-Box Grid is a talent management tool used by organizations to assess employees based on their potential and current performance. It displays nine boxes arranged on a 3x3 grid, with one axis representing performance (from low to high) and the other representing potential (from low to high). Employees are placed into these boxes to help identify who is ready for promotion, needs development, or may be at risk. This visualization supports strategic decisions around training, succession planning, and leadership development, ensuring the right talent is nurtured for future roles.
