The objective of this article is to guide users in generating and customizing an N-box from performance evaluations conducted in Buk. This process allows visualization of employees' talent and supports informed decisions in organizational development. To achieve this, the necessary steps are detailed to access the Development module, automatically generate a Ninebox from performance evaluations carried out in Buk, and customize it according to the user's specific needs.
In addition, information is provided on how to add participants manually or in bulk, as well as the option to incorporate more variables into the N-box for a more comprehensive evaluation of employee talent.
Scope / Limitations:
To create N-boxes from the Development module in Buk, you must have an administrator profile on the platform or a custom profile with edit permissions in Development.
This article details the process of creating N-boxes from an evaluation conducted in Buk, as well as how to customize them according to specific needs. However, it does not include the procedure for carrying out calibrations. It is important to note that to create N-boxes from performance evaluations in Buk, those evaluations must include potential-type questions.
Definitions:
-
N-box:
The N-box is an essential tool in human talent management that enables visualization and evaluation of employees' talent within an organization using variables such as performance and potential. Graphically represented through a set of quadrants, each axis of the N-box reflects a key evaluation dimension.
Its main purpose is to help leaders and HR managers make data-driven decisions regarding talent development and management within the company. By placing employees in different quadrants according to these variables, a clear view is obtained of their current contribution and their potential for growth.

Development module:
In Buk, when using the Performance Management module, you have the opportunity to use the Development section to customize and create N-boxes according to your specific needs. This will allow you to make strategic decisions based on concrete data and carry out a more effective and efficient talent management process.
You can generate these N-boxes both from evaluations conducted in Buk and from external evaluations. You can configure them as you wish and choose the number of quadrants for your N-box. In addition, you have the ability to perform calibrations based on employees' scores to place them in the appropriate quadrant.
It is important to point out that, while it is possible to perform calibrations from the Development section, these are exclusively designed for the visualization of employees in the Ninebox and have no effect on editing the scores in the performance evaluation conducted in Buk.
Considerations before starting:
- That your Performance Evaluation (PE) isfinalized.
- That the evaluation includespotential questions(remember that these questions can only be configured in theDownward Evaluation).
Changes made in the Development module will not affect evaluation scores.
Process on the Individual Platform:
In the Development section, you will be able to generate N-boxes from performance evaluations carried out in Buk, which will allow you to visualize employee talent and make informed decisions. In addition, you will be able to perform calibrations to place employees in the corresponding quadrants.
To begin, access the Talent module and choose the "Development" option. From there, you will have the possibility to automatically generate a Ninebox if you have conducted evaluations in Buk. Simply click on "New calibration" and select "From Buk Performance Evaluation".
You must assign a name to the calibration and choose the evaluation that will be used to generate the Ninebox. Keep in mind that you can only select evaluations that included potential-type questions, since the Ninebox variables will be the performance evaluation score compared to the potential score.
A Ninebox composed of nine quadrants will be automatically created, where the "y" axis will represent potential scores and the "x" axis performance scores. Employees will be plotted in the quadrants according to the scores obtained in the selected performance evaluation.
You will also see this ninebox in the reporting of the corresponding evaluation
This Ninebox divides the axis ranges into equal parts, based on the maximum score of the scale used to evaluate the variables. You can modify the maximum of the ranges from the configuration.
In this example, both performance and potential were measured on a scale with a maximum score of 5. Therefore, the first quadrant of both axes covers from 0 to 1.67, the second quadrant from 1.68 to 3.33, and the third quadrant from 3.34 to 5.
Looking at the specific case in the example, a score of 3.13 in performance and 2.33 in potential was obtained; by joining these lines, we can see that the employee falls into the "In development" quadrant.

Customize the N-box:
To configure the data and characteristics of the ninebox, click on the gear icon.
Start by configuring the variable data: you must choose the variable to modify and you can select the number of quadrants the N-box will have on each axis. You can also define the maximum values of the ranges. Then, modify the second variable.
You also have the option to configure the quadrants of your Ninebox. You must select the quadrant you want to edit and you will have the possibility to change its name, color, and add a description that will be shown directly in the Ninebox.
Add variables:
You also have the option to add more variables to your N-box; to do this click on "Actions" and select "Import axis data"
You can add as many variables as you need by clicking "Add" as many times as necessary. Assign a name, a minimum score and a maximum to each variable. Then click "Download template"; an Excel file will be downloaded where you must complete the information.
Complete the Excel file with the employee's document number and their scores for each variable. Then save the file and upload it to Buk by clicking "Select file".
Once you have uploaded the file, you will be able to select the variables you want to visualize. Choose the variables for each axis and then click "Update".
Add participants:
You also have the option to upload more participants to visualize them in the N-box. To do this, go to the "Actions" section and choose between two methods: you can add participants manually by selecting "Add participants manually" and then selecting the desired employees from the list. Alternatively, you can add participants in bulk by selecting "Add participants in bulk". For this, download a template in Excel format, which you must complete with the employees' document numbers and their respective scores in the entered variables. Once completed, you can import this file to add participants efficiently.
By following these steps, you will have created the N-box according to your needs. You will now be able to perform calibrations and make decisions based on the position of employees in the quadrants.
