Which career map Visualization Style is particularly effective for one-on-one discussions between a manager and an employee because it immediately shows the skill delta?
Role-to-Role Comparison
The Role-to-Role Comparison is a visualization technique specifically designed to facilitate direct, focused discussions between a manager and their employee regarding progression. This style operates by placing the detailed requirements—such as required skills and competencies—for the current role side-by-side with those required for the very next desired role. The immediate proximity of these two requirement sets makes the skill delta, or the difference between what is currently possessed and what is needed, instantly apparent. This direct comparison is highly effective for planning immediate next steps, unlike a Matrix/Grid View which is better for showing breadth, or the Simple Linear Progression which only shows hierarchy.
