Talent Development · Two WCI dimensions

Does development prepare your people for the work ahead?

Explore the gap between the growth you promise, the training people receive, and what daily work reinforces. See how well your organization supports capability, career growth, and changing roles—including work shaped by AI.

Promise vs. Training

Does the development people receive match the opportunities and expectations they were given?

Teaching vs. Reinforcement

Do managers, workflows, and everyday practice help people use what they learn?

What this assessment catches

Training is a starting point. Capability depends on what happens afterward.

Support that reaches the work

Find where workload, access, coaching, or operating routines make development difficult to use.

Growth as roles change

Review career pathways, reskilling, human judgment, and the support people need as AI changes tasks.

Technology that helps people develop

Examine learning platforms, practice and feedback tools, and guidance in daily work. Check access, actual use, and evidence of results.

What your snapshot measures

Nine areas that turn development into capability.

Consider your whole organization, a function, or a team. The assessment covers learning access, technology use, manager reinforcement, career growth, and the realities of changing work.

Promise vs. Training

Onboarding & expectations

Help people become capable in the work they were hired or moved into.

Promise vs. Training

Skills for changing work

Connect development to changing tasks, business needs, and human judgment.

Promise vs. Training

Time & access to learning

Make development workable across workloads, shifts, locations, and access needs.

Promise vs. Training

Career growth & mobility

Turn growth commitments into visible pathways, assignments, and transition support.

Teaching vs. Reinforcement

Manager coaching & feedback

Give managers the capability, time, and accountability to support development.

Teaching vs. Reinforcement

Practice & knowledge sharing

Make new skills usable in real workflows and spread capability beyond individuals.

Teaching vs. Reinforcement

Technology use for development

Use accessible, relevant tools to support learning, practice, feedback, and performance in daily work.

Teaching vs. Reinforcement

AI capability & work design

Prepare people to use AI appropriately, evaluate its output, and adapt their roles.

Teaching vs. Reinforcement

Outcomes & improvement

Check whether learning changes performance and use the findings to improve it.

What you leave with

A development report you can use with leaders and managers.

An overall development gap score and separate scores for the two core dimensions.

A nine-area heat map showing reported strengths, gaps, and areas needing more evidence.

Up to three priorities with 30-, 60-, and 90-day actions, suggested owners, and measures.

An on-screen report you can print or save as a PDF, with an optional emailed link.

Step 1

Set the context

Choose the group you know and keep that scope throughout the assessment.

Step 2

Have the conversation

Describe what happens in practice. A brief follow-up may help clarify an answer. Not sure is always an option.

Step 3

Review and act

Check how your answers were interpreted, then explore your scores, evidence gaps, and action plan.

Development gap guide

How to read the scores

Higher scores indicate larger reported gaps. Unknown answers do not add risk points. The scores reflect your account of practice, rather than a verified audit or peer ranking.

Consistent support

0–25

Development is generally supported in daily work.

Some gaps

26–50

Support is partly established, with areas to strengthen.

Material gaps

51–75

Substantial gaps need evidence checks and focused action.

Widespread gaps

76–100

Many development practices are missing or inconsistent.

Ready when you are

Make development part of how work happens.

Start with your experience. Leave with a clearer picture of what to strengthen, what to verify, and where to begin.
