In January 2012, we released a new online system for documenting performance and development discussions called myPerformance. Transitioning from a complex 12-screen performance review format to a single screen will provide a simplified platform, enabling employees and managers to spend less time navigating and more time on performance discussions.

TI's worldwide talent development priorities for 2012 include:
  • Expanding global rotation programs for sales, applications, manufacturing management, product/test, and finance and operations.
  • Expanding the China talent development infrastructure to support its rapid business growth, and developing leaders and engineers there.
  • Building a strong bench of leaders and evaluating their readiness for critical roles by creating customized learning opportunities and development plans for each of the leaders in the pipeline.
  • Accelerating the development of our leaders and reinforcing accountability by standardizing the fundamentals outlined in the profit-and-loss and sales leader playbooks.
  • Defining and implementing a robust, interactive engineering skill development curriculum along with on-the-job resources for design, product, test and software engineering new college graduates worldwide.
