Career Pathing & Lateral-Move Options Workbook

Map an employee's possible next moves — up the ladder, laterally across tracks, into another job family, or as a stretch — and assess each one against the competency expectations of its target level. You list the candidate moves, rate the person against each target level's expectations, and the workbook computes a fit gap per option and ranks them so the smallest gap is visible at a glance. Competency names, definitions, importance values and behavioral anchors are cited from O*NET; the level structures, target-role list and readiness thresholds are a design you adapt. Every rating and every option is yours to enter — the workbook holds no assumed 'typical lateral move' pattern and no benchmark of how ready anyone should be.
