Case Study: T.A. Cook achieves greater internal development awareness and continuous feedback with Lattice Grow

How T.A. Cook Uses Grow to Improve Internal Development Awareness

T.A. Cook, a 70-person asset performance management consultancy based in Berlin, struggled with limited visibility into employee development and a sparse feedback culture—career paths lived in Excel and managers rarely shared feedback. The HR team, led by Maren Stieler, selected Lattice (Platform w/ Premium Support), adopting the Grow and Performance products to centralize career tracks, feedback, and engagement in one platform.

Lattice’s Grow replaced Excel with about 12–15 role-specific career tracks and visible growth matrices across consulting, engineering, and shared services, while Lattice Performance and Feedback enabled a move from annual to bi‑annual reviews, widespread manager 1:1s, and regular pulse surveys. Those changes gave T.A. Cook actionable insights during the pandemic (triggering free coaching and counseling), improved manager–employee relationships and leadership transparency, increased employee connection to business goals, and prompted the HR team to add headcount to further leverage Lattice.
