360° reviews

360° reviews can be used for a variety of purposes, of course, but we tend to use them mainly in conjunction with a structured development programme. They’re a great way of identifying development priorities and setting a baseline against which to evaluate return on investment.

We use possibly the most innovative online assessment tools available on the market today, with a successful track record around the globe and now translated into more than 30 languages. They’re cost-effective, easy-to-use, research-based, off-the-shelf (or customised if you prefer) and thoroughly validated.

CustomView360

For clients looking for a complete customised approach, CustomView360 takes any existing competencies and questions and converts them into a web-based questionnaire, administration system and feedback reporting system all branded for the client. The reports can include coaching guides and development plans.
