Episode 1: The Curse of the 9-Box: Is It Silently Killing Your Talent Today?

A provocative conversation for senior OD and Talent practitioners who dare to rethink the tools we’ve inherited.

For decades, the 9-Box Grid has been a staple of talent reviews — the sacred matrix guiding decisions about performance, potential, and succession.


But in today’s world defined by agility, cross-functional flow, and fluid talent, we must ask:

Is the 9-Box still helping us identify and grow talent?

Join Valeriya Levchenkova, Organizational Development Leader and founder of Passion to Lead Consulting, for the launch of the “Holy Cows of Organizational Development” Leadership Insights Circle — a reflective, interactive event series where seasoned OD professionals gather to question long-standing assumptions and reimagine modern practice.

Together, we’ll explore:

  • The hidden assumptions behind performance and potential ratings.

  • Why static evaluation frameworks may limit dynamic capability growth.

  • Emerging alternatives: systemic talent intelligence, flow-to-work models, and capability ecosystems.

This is not a webinar — it’s a Leadership Insights Circle, a co-created space where senior OD practitioners bring their wisdom, challenge assumptions, and shape the conversation together.

You are invited not as a spectator, but as a thought partner.

Please come ready to:

  • Share your real-world experiences with the 9-Box and talent assessment frameworks.

  • Question long-held assumptions.

  • Contribute to re-imagining what modern, dynamic potential looks like.

You’ll leave with:

  • A reframed perspective on how to recognize and grow potential in today’s world.

  • Practical ideas to evolve or replace the 9-Box in your context.

  • A renewed sense of inspiration for shaping the future of OD.Event Details
