For many years a large proportion of global organisations have been using the 360/multi-rater approach to giving feedback for coaching, development and learning. But how effective are they? What does an effective 360 look like? When should we be applying qualitative or quantitative 360s? In this podcast Caitlin and Amanda look at the science behind robust and valid 360 measures and how they should be effectively applied. They also look at the risks of misusing 360 instruments and some of the mistakes organisations make embarking on 360 programmes. Finally they close with the benefit of 360s to help build the business case with key stakeholders.
