A Framework for Professional Development

This 360 degree or multi-source assessment provides a full circle overview of an individual's abilities by gathering information from various perspectives: self, 2 supervisors, five direct reports and five peers.

Competency in 18 skill areas is highlighted so that strengths can be identified and weaknesses can be addressed. The 18 skills are broken into eight categories: communication, leadership, adaptability, relationships, task management, production, development of others and personal development.

Feedback is presented in a practical, easy-to-read report that compares responses to the survey. The graphic and numeric report provides a visual summary of results, as well as detailed statistics. While the feedback helps describe where participants are, the CheckPoint Development Planner helps illustrate where they can go. This self-initiated improvement plan involves first examining the feedback data, then generating related developmental goals. CheckPoint provides a clear, specific outline for the process. Participants take charge of personal change.

The system requires no certification. Convenience is the major consideration for the time and place for both survey administration and review of results. All survey information is processed off-site so privacy is protected. Turn-around time between survey completion and feedback response is minimal. Conclusions are precise and suggestions for development straightforward. It is a practical, efficient system that provides a framework for periodic measurement of periodic measurement of professional progress and for achieving high levels of success.
