The Human Resource departments are now facing a new challenge: how to contribute in the definition of incentive plans and
professional development? The participation of the line managers in answering this question is fundamental, since they are
those who best know the single individuals; but they do not have the necessary background. In this paper, we present the Team Advisor project, which goal is to enable the line managers to be in charge of their own development plans by providing them with
a personalized and contextualized set of information about their teams. Several experiments are reported, together with a
discussion of the results.
