9-Grid™

9-Grid™ is EMEA’s only market analysis model for Next Generation HR, Talent and Learning

NEW: The 2023 Fosway 9-Grid™ for Talent Acquisition is now live!

9-Grid™ is the only market analysis model that is used to understand the relative position of solutions and providers in the learning and talent systems market. 9-Grid™ has been in evolution since 2008 and is driven by demand for analysis and insight designed for European-based companies. Too often, organisations have had to rely on a US-centric view.

We created 9-Grid™ based on Fosway’s unrivalled, independent research in the Next Generation HR, Talent and Learning markets over 20 years, and with the insights and experience of our Corporate Research Network. This comprises over 150 leading global companies; typically enterprise-scale organisations with a large European presence.

A key difference of the 9-Grid™ to other analyst models, is that all of the nine zones have value and a set of actions to maximise that value. 9-Grid™ explicitly prompts real conversations around the trade-off between customer performance, solution sophistication and total cost of ownership.

It’s so important to all the thousands of buyers based in the UK, EMEA and internationally to have access to independent analysis that accurately reflects their market. Most of the other research models that exist are US-centric and therefore provide very little real value to organisations seeking to make the best decision about which learning and talent system to invest in
