From Gut Feel to Evidence: a live record of your team’s potential and competence. Live webinar, Thursday 19 November, 3pm to 4pm UK, live with Mark Seemann

The “prove it” problem

Boards, regulators and clients now ask HR to prove it

When a regulator, auditor, big client or your own board asks you to prove your people are competent, most organisations still reach for Word documents and spreadsheets. Performance and potential get decided by gut feel, once a year, with no evidence trail behind them.

22%

of HR leaders say their organisation has a formal succession plan

DDI HR Insights, 2025
38%

of CHROs are confident they will hit their succession goals next year

Gartner, 2025
9%

of CHROs strongly agree the 9-Box works for them, yet 64% use it

In this live hour, StaffCircle founder Mark Seemann opens the dashboard and shows the alternative: one live record of each person, built from the work that already happens every day. No sales pitch. A real record, a real customer example and live Q&A.

Evidence, not opinion

  • A clear, working definition of “potential” and “competence”, inside the first five minutes
  • A potential score built from five signals you already hold: learning agility, skills growth, leadership behaviours, aspiration and engagement
  • How reviews, skills, training records and recognition combine into one live picture of each person
  • A real customer example, showing the record in use, not a mock-up
  • How Success Circles turns that picture into one view HR, line managers and leadership can all trust
  • What new rules on succession and pay now ask for: ISO 30414:2025, UK pay gap reporting and EU Pay Transparency
