An innovative interactive 360°
Get better performance insights
Survey-based quantitative 360°tools are readily available. They have become a staple tool for collecting the perceptions of stakeholders about the performance and behaviours of individuals in the workplace.
However, the effectiveness of these tools has been repeatedly questioned by researchers. Quantitative 360°tools demonstrate a number of fundamental flaws.
1. Ratings are often inaccurate. Research suggests that the average human brain can only assess about six dimensions, yet the average 360°survey usually asks raters to provide feedback on 40 to 60 questions. This makes them subject to biases such as the ‘halo’ and ‘horns’ effects, where raters rather everything high or low rather than distinguishing across behaviours.
2. Ratings don’t capture individual differences. The value of multi-rater tools is that they capture a range of different perspectives. Yet these differences are lost when ratings are combined across multiple raters and converged into one ‘average’ number.
3. Ratings don’t recognise the context. Quantitative ratings provide no vehicle for referencing the specific situation and relationship with the target.
That’s where Multirater.TxT is different. It harnesses the latest technology to provide a huge step forward in tools for collecting stakeholder feedback.
1. The tool uses machine learning to ‘interview’ the participants to gather data on your target framework.
2. Respondents provide their feedback verbally and even in their own language.
3. A summary of feedback provided enables raters to edit and prioritize key messages.
4. Feedback is analysed for themes and differences, providing rich insights on observations grounded in a real business context.
5. A project admin dashboard enables you to manage and track the process seamlessly.

Digital diagnostics
Diagnostics shaped to your industry and company
The drivers of success are becoming more sophisticated and complex. With AI and automation taking care of many of the analytical and repetitive tasks and skills, those left tend to be multi-faceted and interactional skills. Take something as simple as coaching. While often framed as a skill, coaching actually requires a vast number of skills, including listening, self-management, open questions and an understanding of adult learning and developing capabilities in others.
Complex skills require more complex diagnostic technologies. Whether assessing for selection or for talent development, assessment methodologies need to be provide a robust and holistic view of an individual’s strengths and gaps.
TalentxTools offer technology-enabled diagnostics designed by organizational psychologists to assess complex skills. Here are some of the features they offer to give you the edge in attracting and identifying the talent you need.
1. Set in a relevant business context. This reduces the ‘noise’ of measurement tools set in an unfamiliar or generic industry environment, improving participant engagement and generating better quality data.
2. Using multi-media features. Harnessing the latest technologies such as interactive video, the diagnostics bring the business situation to life to draw participants into the story. Again, this enhances participant experience, which in turn contributes to data quality.
3. Open questions. Rather than choosing from defined options, the diagnostics allow participants to shape their responses and game interaction the way they want to. This offers much richer insights on individuals, providing more predictive insight.
4. Underpinned by robust assessment construction. Scoring algorithms embody robust evidence-based definitions of target competencies, behaviours and characteristics. This supports the validity of the tools, ensuring they are suitable as the basis for decisions and prioritisation.
5. Shaped to your industry – and even your organisation. Use one of our off-the-shelf tools or we can work with you to design a tool just for you. This can offer a bespoke development experience for your leaders or a realistic job preview for prospective candidates.
