# From a competency definition to a coaching decision

Solution map

The product material positioned performance management as a working cycle rather than a single annual event. Each stage produced information for the next.

| Stage | Question | Recorded information | Management use |
|---|---|---|---|
| **Alignment** | What must the role execute? | Goals, competencies and observable behaviors | Set a shared standard |
| **Assessment** | What is happening now? | Focused observations and sCOREcard results | Identify strengths and gaps |
| **Coaching** | What should change next? | Feedback, priorities and action notes | Guide development work |
| **Analysis** | Is proficiency improving? | Progress over time and team patterns | Refine training decisions |

## Learning alignment process

The process began with business goals and the behaviors required to reach them. Knowledge, skills and abilities were then mapped to those behaviors so assessment and coaching remained connected to organizational objectives.
