Structured Matching

Effective matching begins with structured profiles for both sponsors and protégés, capturing role requirements, development needs, and business priorities.

Eligibility criteria include performance, potential, readiness for stretch assignments, and alignment with strategic goals. Diversity considerations are integrated but not reduced to quotas.

Consider representation across functions, levels, and backgrounds to broaden access while keeping high standards. The pairing process should be transparent, documented, and free from bias.

Processes may include nominations, manager input, data driven matching, and pilot sign offs. Documented decisions, expectations, and review cycles ensure accountability.
