360° Feedback
MINDONE 360° analysis provides information on how a person is perceived in their professional environment. By gathering various perspectives, 360° feedback provides a comprehensive picture and thus a resulting high-quality analysis. MINDONE 360° analysis is characterised by its innovative questioning technique and can be adapted to reflect company-specific competencies, guidelines and values.
360° Feedback as a Basis for Development
The combination of self-perception and the perception of others results in a valuable assessment of the participant’s current situation, which is then reflected in an informative feedback report. This report includes an overview of strengths and areas for development, concrete recommendations for development and biggest gaps in self-perception and others’ perception of participants. Current evaluations can be compared with the previous year’s values in an analysis of progress. 360° feedback is suitable:
- for reflecting on your own management impact
- as a performance management tool
- as a basis for annual reviews as well as for agreements on development and objectives
- as a framework for concrete development planning
- to monitor success of development measures
- in rolling out a management mission statement and corporate values
- in change processes as an effective way of aligning corporate strategy with existing management skills.

What is 360° Feedback?
360° Feedback is a well-established method for gaining a comprehensive assessment of a person’s abilities and behaviours by gathering input from their professional environment. Also known as “multisource feedback”, it combines perspectives from different groups. Feedback is collected from supervisors, colleagues, direct reports and, where appropriate, clients or partners – complemented by the individual’s self-assessment.
By comparing these various viewpoints, a nuanced picture of the person’s impact and development potential emerges.
The aim of 360° Feedback is to provide a well-founded and more objective basis for individual development, leadership feedback, performance discussions or career decisions.
