## Grow for Platform Leads  (00:00)

- Ten people. Forty work stories. One review season.  
  _On screen: 10 people · 40 stories · 1 season_
- With Grow, it's lighter than it sounds.  
  _On screen: Let's make it light._
- **Sidekick:** Sounds like a lot of coffee.  
  _On screen: Sounds like a lot of coffee._
- In the next few minutes, you'll run a full growth cycle as a Platform Lead, from setting up your team to publishing results.  
  _On screen: Setup → Review → Publish → Grow_

## 01  Your cockpit  (00:16)

- Sign in with your passkey, and you land on your dashboard.
- Everything you lead lives in this sidebar.
- Need a refresher later? This guide and video sit right at the bottom.  
  _On screen: Help is one click away_
- Up top, four numbers tell you where the cycle stands.
- Watch this one: Awaiting PL review. That's your to-do list.  
  _On screen: Your to-do list_
- Need focus? Filter by squad, role, level or status.
- Ten people become four. Much better.

## 02  Build your team  (00:41)

- Before any review, set up your team.
- Squads are the groups you lead. Each card shows the people and the platforms it covers.
- Add a squad in one line,
- and keep your platform list here. Platforms are for filtering, not for permissions.  
  _On screen: Filters, not permissions_
- The Members tab shows everyone at a glance: squad, role, level, and whether their passkey is ready.

## 03  Invite people  (01:03)

- New joiner? Open Invite employees.
- Pick the squad and the default role and level.
- Paste one person per line. Add a role or level after a comma if someone is different.
- Grow never sends invitations for you. It gives you a CSV of one-time links instead.  
  _On screen: You send the link._
- Treat that file like a key. Send each link privately, then delete the file.  
  _On screen: A link is a key_
- **Sidekick:** So the link is the key. Got it.
- Anyone who hasn't registered yet waits here, with the expiry time.

## 04  Questions & cycles  (01:31)

- Now, the questions. Open Evaluation cycles and questions.
- Published question sets are locked, so past answers stay comparable.  
  _On screen: Published = locked_
- To change anything, duplicate it as a new version,
- edit the sections and fields,
- preview it as an employee, then publish.
- Next, create a cycle.
- Choose the mode: Grow plus PMS, or PMS only. Set the assessment period, the question set and the deadline.
- Pick the participants, and save it as a draft.
- When you open the cycle, everyone in scope gets their evaluation. Your own profile is never included.  
  _On screen: PLs aren't evaluated_

## 05  Deadlines, your way  (02:07)

- Someone on leave? No problem.
- Open View participants, set a new date for one person,
- and click Extend deadline. Everyone else stays on track.  
  _On screen: One person. One click._

## 06  Read & give feedback  (02:18)

- Submissions are coming in. Open a review from the dashboard.
- Step through the sections, one tab at a time.
- Each card is one story: what they did, their own contribution, and the outcome.
- On the right, you write in two very different boxes.
- PL Feedback is for the employee. They see it after you mark the review complete.  
  _On screen: Employee sees this_
- The Note is yours alone. The employee never sees it.  
  _On screen: Only you_
- **Sidekick:** Feedback for them, notes for you. Easy to remember.
- Story too thin? Return it for updates, with a reason.
- Happy with it? Save, then Mark reviewed.

## 07  AI analysis, your call  (02:52)

- Here's where it gets fun. Open AI Analysis.
- AI reads the stories, and the PMS results if you imported them, and maps evidence to skills from the company Skill Matrix.
- The radar gives you the shape in one look.
- But AI only drafts. You decide.  
  _On screen: AI drafts. You decide._
- For every finding, Accept,
- Edit, to fix the level, the summary or the evidence,
- or hide it from the employee.
- The one-to-one questions and the confidence scores are for you only.  
  _On screen: Prep your 1:1_
- Publish unlocks only after you've reviewed every soft and hard skill finding.  
  _On screen: 6 / 14 reviewed_
- Fourteen out of fourteen. Publish!  
  _On screen: 14 / 14_
- Each finding also asks for a level for the skill profile. Open it to see the Skill Matrix criteria for all five levels, and pick what the evidence shows.  
  _On screen: Levels by the Skill Matrix_
- **Sidekick:** And the employee sees it right away, on their own results page.

## 08  Turn insight into action  (03:39)

- Feedback is good. A plan is better.
- In Development plan, draft an action from an area to develop, from a finding, or write your own.
- Drafts stay hidden until you click Activate for employee.  
  _On screen: Hidden until you activate_
- The employee logs progress, you comment, and you confirm when it's done. Every step is kept in the history.

## 09  Every action, one board  (03:58)

- Team development plans shows every action in your team, across all rounds.
- When someone asks to close an action, confirm it right here.  
  _On screen: Confirm, no digging_

## 10  Each person's growth  (04:08)

- Open anyone's growth page for their skill profile: the highest level shown per skill, and it never goes down.
- Below it, the path to the next level, with one click to draft an action.
- Prepare your one-on-one from their progress and shared evidence, then write a note. The shared part goes to them, the private part stays with you.  
  _On screen: 1:1 ready in a minute_
- **Sidekick:** Growth, all year. Not just at review time.

## 11  PMS results  (04:32)

- Running a PMS round? Import each person's PDF or Excel form, check what Grow extracted, then publish.
- The cycle PMS overview shows progress at a glance,
- and every row tells you the next step: import, review AI, or publish an update.  
  _On screen: Next step, every row_

## 12  See the whole team  (04:50)

- Zoom out with Team overview.
- Pick a cycle and a skill set, then group by team, squad or platform.
- Compare squads on the radar,
- and spot gaps in the coverage heat map. It only counts results you reviewed and published.  
  _On screen: Published results only_

## 13  Skill Matrix  (05:04)

- Wondering what good looks like? Open the Skill Matrix.
- Pivot by skill, role or level, and click a cell to read the expected behaviour, plus what Strong looks like at the next level.  
  _On screen: What good looks like_

## 14  Lost phone? Sorted.  (05:17)

- Lost phone? Employees request a reset from the sign-in page, and it shows up here.
- Approve, and Grow creates a one-time link.
- Copy it and send it privately. It's shown only once.  
  _On screen: Shown once. Send privately._

## 15  Viewers & Px proposals  (05:30)

- Two newer features. First, Viewers: another Platform Lead can get read-only access to your team.
- A viewer sees answers and published results, never your private notes, and can't change anything.  
  _On screen: Read-only. No notes._
- Second, Proposals from Px. People Experience may share a team analysis or a learning group with you.
- Like a suggestion? One click starts a development action with the skill already filled in. You still decide.  
  _On screen: Proposal → action_

## You're ready  (05:57)

- That's the whole loop.  
  _On screen: That's the loop._
- Set up your team. Open the cycle. Review with care. Let AI draft, and you decide. Then turn it into growth.  
  _On screen: Team → Cycle → Review → Decide → Grow_
- **Sidekick:** And no review season panic.  
  _On screen: No panic. Just progress._
- Your people did the work. Now help them grow.  
  _On screen: Go grow your people._
