Our mission
On growth, and how we honor it
We are uncovering better ways of personal and professional development by doing it and helping others do it too. Through this work we have come to value:
Short-term achievements shaped by experience
overlong-term development plans
Personal traits inspired by role models' paths
overpre-defined career paths
Motivating and guiding for personal growth
overassessing and rating skills
Collaborative and enjoyable experiences
overrigid processes
While there is value in what's secondary, we value what's primary more.
On evaluation. We built performance evaluation into Nextdot without changing a word above. Rating people from memory, once a year, is what we set out to replace. Evaluating from the record of work is how development and evaluation stop pulling against each other: the evaluation reads the same dots that guided a person's development all year. AI drafts it; a leader signs it or writes their own; the person sees the same evidence their leader sees, and nothing is attached to anyone without their say. The rating was never the point. The record is.
