Plan and run a 360 assessment
Build a practical 360 feedback action plan
Choose a few behaviors to work on and describe what you will do differently. A useful plan fits the person’s work and gives them a way to review progress.
Choose a manageable development focus
Use the report conversation to identify a small number of priorities. Consider what matters for the subject’s role, what the feedback shows, and what they can realistically practice.
Include strengths as well as development needs. A leader who explains decisions clearly may be able to use that strength to improve delegation. Trying to address every low rating at once can leave the plan too broad to follow.
Describe a behavior the person can control. “Be a better manager” needs more detail; “agree on decision authority when delegating a task” suggests something to do in the next working conversation.
Write down the practice, support, and review
For each priority, record what the subject will do, where they will practice, what support they need, how they will gather feedback, and when they will review progress.
Use concrete examples and observations as progress indicators. A course completed or a meeting attended shows activity; it does not, by itself, show that behavior changed.
Build development into the working week
Look for practice in real meetings, decisions, and conversations. Coaching, mentoring, training, reading, and peer feedback can support that practice.
Agree on what the subject will share with their manager or supporters. Sharing development goals can help others provide useful feedback without sharing the full report.
The Panoramic Feedback workbook provides a starting point for reflecting on results and planning development. Your consultant or internal team works with the subject on the plan and follow-up.
Before you move on
- Goals describe specific behaviors in the subject’s work.
- Practice, support, and progress indicators are recorded.
- A review date and person to review with are agreed.
