## Abstract

A matched array technology system and method for displaying in a two-dimensional array the structured interactions between management and a plurality of employees in an organization. Axes contain proxy values of employee and manager expectations scaled to yield a matched array and an alignment vector containing cells representing target alignment between employee and manager expectations. A scatter plot of multiple employee positions portrays the pattern of talent alignment and distribution, representing the talent architecture for the organization. The talent architecture is characterized by multiple static and dynamic metrics that identify normative opportunities to improve organization alignment, and measure organization talent management performance, especially in relation to the reference and general alignment vectors of the array.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method for displaying talent values of a plurality of employees of an organization in a two-dimensional array, the method, implemented on a system including at least one display device and at least one input device, comprising:
(a) displaying a grid of cells of the two-dimensional array on the at least one display device;
(b) displaying, on the at least one display device, an X-axis of proxy values for organization talent metrics adjacent to the grid, and a Y-axis of proxy values for corresponding employee talent metrics adjacent to the grid, and displaying an alignment vector defined by cells or portions of cells of the two-dimensional array which represent a target range of combinations of organization and employee talent metric proxy values;
(c) receiving, by the at least one input device, a first metric reflecting a talent value of a first employee of the plurality of employees from a perspective of the management of the organization and a second metric reflecting a talent value of the first employee from a perspective of the employee;
(d) scaling the first metric to convert the first metric into a first proxy value and scaling the second metric to convert the second metric into a second proxy value;
(e) on the at least one display device, displaying a plotted talent position of the first employee in a cell of the array that corresponds to an intersection of the first proxy value and the second proxy value;
(f) repeating steps (c) through (e) for additional employees of the plurality of employees of the organization, and wherein at least one of the first metric and the second metric for at least one of the plurality of employees is received from a database of a pre-existing business system of the organization.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1 wherein the at least one input device comprises an interface with the pre-existing system of the organization.
