Oracle Succession Planning provides Talent Matrix, a flexible and configurable tool that enterprises can use to assess the succession potential of their workforce.
Attention: The Talent Matrix tool is not displayed in the application, by default. If required, system administrators must enable this tool by completing additional implementation steps. See: Enabling Talent Matrix.
The Talent Matrix tool:
Provides the flexibility to define the matrix type as per the business requirements of the enterprise. Enterprises can select from the supported matrix types. For example, either 2*2 or 4*4 matrix type.
Supports multi-dimensional attributes to create a talent matrix. Different combinations of Performance Rating, Retention Potential, Readiness Level, and Impact of Loss dimensions help to identify suitable successors. Enterprises have the flexibility to specify the dimensions of the X and Y axes of the Talent Matrix.
Enables plan administrators to create different templates by selecting the matrix type and X and Y axes dimensions based on the business requirements of the enterprise. Talent Managers can use these templates to view the Talent Matrix for a particular combination.
Enables managers to view the talent matrix of workers in their hierarchy. The Change Manager option helps to view the talent matrix of workers in different managers' hierarchy.
Helps identify the assessment level of workers and view succession details of workers placed in specific grids. An icon is displayed for a worker to indicate if a succession plan exists for the worker or not. Using this icon, plan administrators or managers can view succession details or create succession plans for the worker.
Enables printing of the Talent Matrix and also view a list of workers for whom succession details are incomplete.
The following functions are available to plan administrators and managers:
Manage Talent Matrix Templates: Administrators can use this function to search for published Talent Matrix templates, create, update, or delete Talent Matrix templates.
View Talent Matrix for Performance: Administrators and managers can use this function to select a Talent Matrix template to view the talent matrix for workers in a logged in manager's hierarchy.
