Maps and Pathways helps individuals and organisations make appraisals a tool for learning, growth, and clarity.
When it comes to talent and performance management, appraisals, probation and 1-2-1s we’ve created something that makes a difference by being different.
There’s a clear picture nationally of the need for change when it comes to these, when research shows that…
With Maps and Pathways we’ve proven none of that has to be the case by developing an innovative and intuitive software solution.
We have been—and always will be—guided by people’s stories and experiences and led by customer feedback rather than guessing what people want. We don’t have a monopoly on good ideas or an exclusivity on the best way of doing things.
We don’t have the perfect solution yet, but we’d like you to join us and our partners exploring the art of the possible so one day we do.
