This latest innovation helps 360s become more practical. The Solution Focused 360 questionnaire includes, besides traditional Likert-type rating scales, a "forced choice" section to clearly identify strengths and improvement areas. Once the improvement areas have been identified with high precision, the system asks Feedback Givers for suggestions specifically targeting the improvement areas. This results in a more streamlined feedback process, and a more insightful report with laser-targeted, specific development suggestions.

Let's break it down - this is how it works step by step. It starts as a traditional 360:

Then it asks to select the top strengths and improvement needs from the high- and low-rated items:

Finally the system asks for specific suggestions related to the top improvement needs:

Advantages of the "Solution Focused" technology:

• Questionnaires can be shorter, because the "forced choice" section is more efficient than the Likert-type items.
• Reports are uniquely focused, intuitive, and easy to understand, thanks to the new principle in "Solution Focused" 360 technology.
• It is easy to customize for supporting company or position specific competency models.
• The administrator system interface is very intuitive and easy to use. Thanks to advanced import functions, setting up 360 projects and monitoring them is a breeze.
