Are the questionnaires provided by the Panoramic Feedback library validated and reliable?
Reply: Validated? No. Reliable? Yes. In fact, many 360-degree feedback users believe the best and most reliable competency list is developed when key players contribute their understanding of the task and the environment to the creation of a unique list of competencies for the organization. Like fine athletes, they believe their organizations should compete against their own internal standards, rather than attempting to emulate others. So most of our clients customize our 360-feedback questionnaires to suit their specific feedback needs. “Validated” competency lists suggest that you can successfully compare organizations and people in particular job groups. The use of so-called “industry standards” often results in the sacrifice of local impact, meaning, and utility.
