THE SECRETS OF A TRULY DEVELOPMENTAL 360

How ownership-led design turns feedback into insight, engagement, and real behaviour change

Thursday, 18^th June 2026 1200 BST (virtual)

Many organisations run 360 feedback with the best of intentions — yet participants still experience it as something done to them. Reviewers play safe, insight is diluted, and development stalls.

So what changes when a 360 genuinely becomes someone’s own?

In this practical, design-led webinar, we’ll share the often invisible design choices that transform a 360 from a compliance exercise into a powerful, personalised development experience — one that increases honesty, reduces defensiveness, and builds real commitment to change.

In this session, we’ll explore:

• Why a technically robust 360 can fail to generate true engagement
• How early framing and positioning shape openness, trust, and reviewer candour
• The role of ipsative and forced-choice approaches in moving people out of “rating mode” and into meaningful reflection
• Using a discovery-based methodology, sequencing themes and insights in a particular way that builds curiosity and minimises resistance
• Why the order in which topics are explored can dramatically change how feedback is received
• The power of participant-authored questions — how allowing individuals to add their own focus question shifts the 360 from “about me” to “for me”
• Why this single design choice often transforms ownership, reviewer honesty, and depth of insight
• Designing feedback conversations that surface understanding, not defensiveness
• Where AI can support sense-making and reflection — without replacing human judgement

This webinar is designed for HR, OD and L&D professionals, leadership consultants, and coaches who want their 360 processes to feel fair, thoughtful, and genuinely developmental — for both the organisation and the individual.

You’ll leave with practical design principles and immediately usable ideas, whether you design 360s in-house, work with providers, or support leaders through feedback and coaching.

Format: 60-minute interactive webinar

Includes: Real design examples, participant-led scenarios, and live discussion
