The Next Thing in 360 Assessment and Corporate Social Networking (Leadership Development & talent management)
"I want to bring a revolution to 360 so that organizations become more open and transparent, and driven by the desire for employees to request feedback on their competencies/skills and activities they execute on a daily basis" said Carter, BPI's founder and a social-organizational psychologist.

The world of work is becoming more open and transparent. "A new IBM study of 1709 Chief Executive Officers from 64 countries and 18 industries worldwide reveals that CEOs are changing the nature of work by adding a powerful dose of openness, transparency and employee empowerment to the command-and-control ethos that has characterized the modern corporation for more than a century."

Employees using skillrater engage in conversations and threaded discussions around improving their activities at work. Instead of hiding feedback from employees, employees may receive immediate correction of negatively reinforcing workplace habits directly from their bosses, peers, and customers. Employees may continue the feedback process in a threaded discussion to receive deeper advice and help from executive coaches or other members of the team. Repeating this process will show measurable changes in behavior and actions over time for your organization, as well as show patterns for the changes that need to me made on an individual, team, and organization level. The employee requests feedback of others directly, so that a culture of accountability and feedback is encouraged. Instead of "big brother/sister" HR forcing feedback of competencies and workplace performance, employees take ownership for creating their own culture of transparency so they may show their progress toward growth.

One study found that as many as 90 percent of all Fortune 500 companies use 360-degree feedback with their employees. In a 360 assessment, feedback is sought from all directions of an employee's circle: overseers, peers, direct reports, and sometimes even external sources, such as customers and suppliers.

Skillrater brings several innovations to the 360-degree process to make the technique easier to use and to increase the tool's beneficial results. Features include:
• Ratings can be requested at any time by any individual, and the individual determines who sees the results.
• Feedback is requested on a specific project or activity, which provides a valuable context for the feedback. "How did I do, and how can I do better?"
• Skillrater.com occurs 100 percent online. It provides a creative way to easily collect multiple feedback and assemble all of that information in a format that is easy to digest.
• Ratings are available immediately to the person being rated. The lengthy delays of many feedback techniques are eliminated.
• Only positive feedback is sought, resulting in more honest responses.
