What is the best way to reach the intended audience?
In today’s world you can administer a 360 degree assessment electronically via the Internet or Intranet, as a paper and pencil process, or with a combination of the two. Phone deployments are also used. The big advantage of administering a survey electronically lies in the capability to import the responses quickly and inexpensively. A Web-based process also crosses geographic boundaries easily, and can provide economic advantages based upon scale and volume of participants. Where electronic methods are not possible, paper and pencil assessments work very well. The range of electronic/web-enabled assessment tools ranges in features, functionality and price. Some systems allow you to create and post the assessment on your own in-house server. Others have a system where they host the assessment on the vendor’s server, but provide you access to status information and reports.
