Many organisations use 360-degree feedback tools for the purpose of better employee and manager performances. However, recent insights into the way our brain works, demonstrate that these feedback tools are partially based on incorrect assumptions. Therefore, these feedback tools do not bring about the intended growth and improvement, and may even be counterproductive. Feedback impedes people from being creative, working together and taking balanced decisions.

Is it, therefore, not a better idea to zoom in on the qualities that people do have?

Want to know which qualities you possess so you can maximize your own potential? The individual feedforward analysis™ helps you to get an insight into, and to structure your qualities, ambitions, wishes, and goals. The feedforward analysis™ is based on the most important leadership and management qualities which form the foundation of High Performance Individuals, Teams and Organisations. The individual feedforward analysis™ seeks out your qualities, and looks for ways to develop these qualities.

“An enormous source of information; such a rich tool.
The results enable me to go deeper, because it’s presented in an open and positive way and not in a coercive way like ‘thou shalt…’”
LUCETTE TEURLINGS – Policy Officer Management HR Utrecht University

scientifically validated

There are plenty of  360-degree feedback tools that collect information about various competencies of managers and employees. But how do you know for sure that those competencies are crucial leadership and management qualities that can facilitate High Performance Teams and Organisations? And how can you determine whether the feedback tool, which you apply to collect information, including the accompanying report, actually brings about improvements? You don’t.

This was the kick-off for a comprehensive research on feedback tools. Together with her team, Muriel Schrikkema MSc developed the brain friendly 360-degree feedforward analysis™ tool. The scientific team of Dr. André de Waal MBA validated the list of leadership and management qualities.

How does it work?

1. Contact us via the contact form. Together we will discuss your goal and the purpose of the feedforward analysis™ (for individual or team coaching, workshop, etc.).
2. You will receive an Excel sheet containing the details of the participant(s) (name, email address, position, start date, end date, etc.).
3. Each participant receives an invitation by email (in English or Dutch) to select his or her personal qualities. Afterwards, the participant receives an email containing explanation and an example text which he or she can forward to the respondents, who shall be the feedforward ‘givers’ (colleagues from different levels within the organisation as well as external relations).
4. Up until the closing date, the participant receives a weekly overview on the number of respondents. It is also possible to add additional respondents until that date.
5. When there are five or more respondents, the participant receives his or her personal report as a PDF file (English/Dutch).
6. Depending on the follow-up (coaching, workshop, leadership programme, etc.), the participant receives a homework assignment and/or the personal results with reference to the group results.

feedforward report

The feedforward report provides an overview of the participants’ most important leadership and management qualities. Those particular qualities form the basis for High Performance Individuals, Teams, and Organisations. With this feedback tool, you can compare your personal analysis to how others experience your qualities. Is it a match? Or are there big differences? And how do you want to be seen by others?

The emphasis is placed on positive characteristics; the ones you and your team already have and the ones you wish to develop further.

The report compiled based on the feedforward analysis is very comprehensive. In addition to insights into their own qualities, the participant also receives a detailed analysis on:

1. The 3 feedforward pillars: Being authentic, People-oriented managing, Entrepreneurship
2. Management and Leadership qualities
3. Hard and soft qualities
4. Individual and relational qualities
