Overview
360 feedback is a well established and proven approach to developing capability - by raising individual awareness of the impact their behaviour has on others and, as a result, aspects of organisation performance. It is called 360 feedback, as it provides feedback from a number of perspectives: the individual’s own view plus those of their boss, peers and direct reports. Feedback is provided against a set of predefined behaviours to help the individual easily identify their current strengths and areas that require further development.
FindingPotential 360 will enable you to provide high quality reporting and insight to a wider range of people and on a more regular basis, without the huge costs traditionally associated with 360 feedback.
Typical Process
The person being rated is asked to identify a number of people who they work with on a regular basis (i.e. people who observe the person's behaviour regularly). This includes their line manager, 5 to 8 peers and between 6 and 10 direct reports. Invites are sent to each of these raters, including one for the person being rated to complete the questionnaire. People have 4 weeks or so to complete the questionnaire. At the end of this period, a report is created and ideally shared in a 1 to 1 coaching session.
We will provide lists of qualified coaches who can support individuals or your organisation through this process.
Confidentiality
All those completing questionnaires are guaranteed confidentiality. To ensure this, the report averages the responses for each group (peers and direct reports, plus the feedback from the line manager), rather than each individuals’ responses. Typically the only people who see 360 feedback report are the person being rated and an independent coach.
Launch Schedule
We are absolutely committed to launching FindingPotential 360 in 2010. The biggest challenge with a development project like this is finding people to help trial the questionnaires. The more people who help us with trialling the quicker we can launch really robust products... free of charge.
