“I have provided clients with close to 100 Emotional and Social Intelligence 360 profiles and the key benefits of the report are: • Individuals are provided with a quotient for their 'Self Accomplishment' ( = self insight + self mastery) and their 'Social Accomplishment' ( = social insight + social mastery).
• They are also provided with a quotient for their 'Insight' ( = self insight + social insight) and their 'Mastery' ( = self mastery + social mastery).
• Overall behavioural results compare how individuals are scored by all their raters for the four clusters of Self Insight; Self Mastery; Social Insight and Social Mastery.
• Feedback is provided in detail for each of the twelve capabilities that underpin the four clusters, together with detailed coaching advice based on the results achieved.
• Verbatim written feedback is provided from all raters about what the person being rated has been doing well and how they might develop their emotional and social intelligence.
Clients who have used this profile cannot fail to gain increased self and social accomplishment.”

Kerry Juknaitis has been a big user of the Strategic Intelligence 360 assessment. Kerry is a Director of Noesis Learning Pty Ltd and has worked as a consultant in change and performance management since 1991.“Many managers have only a single dimensional viewpoint of strategy, and if the precise dimension has never been clarified, people’s efforts to be ‘strategic’ can be a waste of time.
Many people (and we have now facilitated feedback for more than 300 of these) find that the profile helps them to understand the various components of strategic thinking and to recognise that they may be doing some aspects well.
The 360 gives people a way to discuss what aspects of strategic thinking are important, and to recognise the multi-dimensional nature of strategic thinking and educate about other components of intelligent strategy.
Unlike interpersonal skills (which we all must have) if you have a gap in strategic thinking, then there are a range of tools and group processes that you can use to do it for you.
The profile helps people to see where they may need to use tools or group processes rather than rely on their own skills.”

"One of the best tools I have ever used. Certainly the best full range leadership 360 profile. It always effectively highlights strengths and leadership development areas of focus. I have particularly found the emphasis on behaviours rewarding for my clients. For example, I used the tool recently with a senior executive in a multi-national company who was, in the eyes of its executive committee, not performing the leadership function well enough. This 360 tool and process, and the accompanying coaching, has had a very significant effect in re-energising this executive such that in the view of his executive committee his leadership behaviour and performance has gone from poor to excellent in the space of 12months. A very obvious turnaround."
"This Emotional and Social Intelligence 360 tool really gets in deep opening the mind of clients to a holistic appraisal of their level of self and social accomplishment. For example, a recent assignment has been with a very senior technical/scientific executive who has highly developed analytical and academic intelligence but who is failing in areas such as interpersonal savvy, relationship management and impact management. Surprisingly too his learning energy is also in need of a boost. It is still early days with this client but I have seen it with others where the tool has the capacity to open up the mind to broader and more layered thinking about leadership intelligence such that the behavioural and attitudinal change required is hard to ignore."
