CASE STUDIES OF Q-OPD INTERNATIONAL 360 PROJECTS

'Home Grown Leaders'
This global company identified the need to quadruple the number of 'home grown' leaders in the next 10 years. Q-OPD helped identify the UK and European competencies ie the future leadership skills required and developed a 360° questionnaire from this information. 360° Feedback was used in conjunction with coaching and training programmes for developing high flying managers. The Board also went through the 360 Feedback and our coaches helped them follow through on their development.

Creating a more 'Business Like' Culture
360 Feedback can be used to change the culture of an organisation. We worked closely with a University, which wanted its managers and academic staff to become more business focused. A competency framework was developed and a 360° appraisal included these new behaviours and competencies. The measure the staff to focus on the behaviours required to make the university successful in this competitive environment. All the staff were supported by trained Coaches. Two years later, an evaluation was conducted and found that indeed there had been a change in the culture of the organisation.

Dealing with Difficult Managers
360° can be used to turn around difficult staff, increasing their level of awareness by making them notice the impact that their behaviour is having on their staff and peers. It also enhances the performance of high performing staff enabling them to do their work even better. Many people are often unaware of the positive and negative impact they have on others by using 360° appraisal appropriately it increases the level of a person's Emotional Intelligence.

Executive Coachiong & 360 Feedback
360 feedback is an important part of Executive Coaching. Frank and honest feedback is often lacking the higher in the organisation a person gets - position and politics get in the way. In order to maximise the effectiveness of senior managers it is important that they received feedback from their work colleagues - in a confidential manner. 360 feedback is currently the only means by which this will happen but it the integrity of the process must be observed. The 360 feedback allows the individual to focus on the development areas which will have maximum impact on their effectiveness in the organisation.

WHAT EXACTLY IS 360 DEGREE APPRAISAL?
360 Degree Feedback is a powerful method for identifying an individual's strengths and weaknesses from the perspective of their close work colleagues. Feedback is sought by means of a confidential questionnaire. Approximately 10 colleagues, those who work for the manager, their peers and Boss complete the questionnaire for one manager. Verbatim comments are also sought and included in the feedback document.

Not all 360 feedback systems are equal - The Q-OPD International 360 feedback system has many unique features which were researched and designed by Nina Len our expert in 360 Feedback.

"The 360 feedback process is a powerful development tool which has highlighted aspects of my behaviour of which I was not aware (or not consciously aware) The open comments in particular showed great perception on the part of my colleagues and will be incredibly useful to me in my development journey. I was initially reluctant to expose myself to the process but I am so glad I did!"
