What is a Cipher?
The Cipher is a concise document that explicitly details what success looks like for a given role.
A Cipher paints a clear picture of:
- How a candidate's success will be defined in the role
- What specifically they will need to do to achieve that success
- How they'll fit culturally within the organization
- How they will manage their team, if applicable
Finally, a Cipher serves as the framework that enables managers to discuss the specific facts around a candidate's suitability for a role, rather than comparing opinions of how each interviewer feels about a candidate.
A Cipher has four parts, the CODE: the Charge, the Outcome, the Deliverables and the Efforts. See The CODE.
