Talent 360
Talent 360® is a sophisticated and flexible web based 360 feedback application and programme management tool with powerful reporting and comparison capabilities. Suitable for both development planning and selection for progression, Talent 360® has been designed and developed specifically to support ‘best practice’ in 360 feedback workflow, drawing on the extensive experience of leading practitioners in the field.
Supports Talent Management applications
Talent 360® is also suitable for use in ‘high-stakes’ applications such as succession management with checks and balances to ensure an accurate picture of a participant by reducing the opportunity for and impact of bias for example, reviews may be omitted from final reports or requested to be repeated if they distort the true picture.
Supports the concept of a ‘Review Panel’ to make progression and selection decisions with the Comparison Reporting Engine featuring weightings and benchmark data sets.
Unlike many questionnaire centric systems, Talent 360® is a complete 360 workflow management tool providing a full review ‘dashboard’ with up-to-the-minute status and progress reports on all the key workflow milestones such as participant acceptance, reviewer nominations and review completion.
Talent 360® utilises a unique ‘dual-manager’ concept that allows participants to have a self-nominated ‘guardian angel’. This ensures that reviewer selections and subsequent reviews themselves are balanced, free from bias, constructive and ultimately insightful.
As a Review Manager or Review Administrator, setting up Talent 360® to support a review process couldn’t be easier. Within minutes of determining who will be participants in a review, invitations can be sent out via e-mail to begin getting them involved.

Unique, insightful reports
Talent 360® automatically generates customised personal reports that makes interpreting and understanding the feedback that much easier. The unique ‘keys & eyes’ concept draws the individual to feedback that shouldn’t be overlooked & the use of reverse indicators helps get to the heart of ‘difficult to observe’ competency. The comparison reporting engine shows how participants compare against each other and against benchmarks. It is easy to spot both individual and organisational strengths and development areas.
Talent 360® is quick and easy to set up and is available as either software for installation within your IT environment or as a ‘no-hassle’ hosted application. Your review process could be operational within a matter of days and your review participants will need only minimal support.
