What is feedforward analyse™

Many organisations use 360-degree feedback tools for the purpose of better employee and manager performances. However, recent insights into the way our brain works, demonstrate that these feedback tools are partially based on incorrect assumptions. Therefore, these feedback tools do not bring about the intended growth and improvement, and may even be counterproductive. Feedback impedes people from being creative, working together and taking balanced decisions.

Is it, therefore, not a better idea to zoom in on the qualities that people do have?

The feedforward analysis™ is based on the most important leadership and management qualities which form the foundation of High Performance Individuals, Teams and Organisations. The feedforward analysis™ seeks out the qualities of a participant or a team, and looks for ways to develop these qualities.
