Preference patterns remain relatively stable for people while they can continue to build capability in all the roles. Your company can choose to have a database created with or without names. For example, results could be listed by a code, such as a standard computer password, known only to the person completing the Portrait. At the same time, however, the results, without names if you so choose, need to be available to managers who could print out summary statistics for their teams, departments, divisions, etc. As new project teams are formed or in any meeting people could put their codes in a computer terminal and get a quick display of a role summary of each group member without names.
People can add their names if they choose.
Job Descriptions Qualities from the relevant roles could be added to the standard technical, business-related descriptions. By scanning the database, e-mail could be sent to people who have the desired role preferences. This could be handled in the database without people being identified by name. The computer would pick up their assessment code and send them the e-mail to alert them to job possibilities. Career Planning Individuals could use the data base on job descriptions, which includes all current jobs as well as new job openings, to determine the career path appropriate for them to pursue.
