hi,

i dont know if any one else have given any opinion on this issue. there is this new system of performance appraisal feedback system- 540 degree. it is very much the same as 360, however it goes a step ahead to include customers feedback and suppliers feedback. this system also considers the difference between internal and external customers.

kindly let me know if there is more to this.

Hi Ram,

Even i was trying to find about 720 degrees appraisal last year and drew blank!..

Two weeks ago, i attended the workshop by TVRLS and had the privelege to interact with Dr T V Rao and in the forum i had asked this question about 720 degrees - he said it is just a fad and 360 degrees is good enough tool as of today.

Hi Guys -The difference is quite simple, a 180 degree appraisal is usually the person themselves and their manager filling in a questionnaire = 2 dimensions. 270 degree is self, manager and peers = 3 dimensions, 360 is self, manager, peers and the direct reports of the person = 4 dimensions.

Then as you add extra dimensions such as stakeholders, customers, etc... it just keeps adding another dimension.... So in essence a 360 degree appraisal is identical in process terms to a 720 - it just has additional relationship groups.

270 is mostly used at the top and bottom of organisations, the top where lets say the director CEO actually has no boss - so its self, peers and direct reports.
At the bottom where the people do not manage any others - so it's self, peers and manager.

From our experience 540 degree is mostly used where it is an internal function supplying another part of the organisation - so you end up with: self, manager, peers, direct reports (and either customers - or stakeholders).

One of the critical considerations is that when other groups are used there are at least 2 members (e.g. direct reports or stakeholders) that way they are slightly better 'protected' and therefore more likely to 'say what they think'.

Have a look at my site - there are several free download documents that should answer your questions about this type of process.

If you keep on thinking like this , soon there will be a day you will ask for 720,1440 degree , 2880 degree and so on
360 degree will always do sir
