Virgin Retail procure bespoke on-line 360 degree feedback solution for senior management development initiative.
April 2006
Following the successful implementation of a web-based 360 Degree Feedback system to offer feedback to Regional Managers & Store Managers across the U.K., Bowland Solutions have been asked to provide a comprehensive solution for the senior managers within Virgin Retail headquarters in London.
The scope of the project extends from a thorough analysis of the key strategic objectives and creating a supporting framework of competency questions, through to providing a managed service for an on-line system to distribute and collate feedback.
Senior managers will then have one-to-one debrief sessions with Bowland business coaches, focussing on the creation of a personal development plan aligned to company goals. Internal coaches within Virgin Retail will then work with senior managers to track progress and support them in achieving their objectives.
Brendan Walsh, Managing Director of Bowland Solution comments, "This really is how 360 Degree Feedback should happen; within the context of strategic objectives, tailored to the target audience, as part of a development initiative and not forgetting the all important human element of providing feedback in a sensitive and constructive way".
