Assessing Potential (Not Just Performance): Future Ready Talent Reviews & the Role of AI - Performance Management Exchange

Performance Management Exchange Assessing Potential 07142026 Hero
Access this file:

How do you assess potential credibly, fairly, and at scale? As performance ratings evolve and AI enters the talent stack, HR leaders are being asked to separate current performance evidence from future-readiness signals—clarifying definitions, reducing rating inflation, and designing talent reviews that leaders actually trust. 

Douglas Absher, Lead for Performance & Career Growth at Lumen Technologies and Performance Management Exchange Member Lead at i4cp, drew a sharp line between performance and potential—reframing performance as the gatekeeper to potential. 

Peer Spotlights from Sarah Heller, Director, Organizational Effectiveness Consulting; Chi-Chi Tse, Director, People and HRBPs; and Simon Goldstein, Talent Operations Manager, all of Dolby, showcased their journey to Curate, an internally built talent planning platform now in pilot.
