| What is your solution? | 360 Spark provides personal development insight by providing custom 360 reports for business leaders around the world. This insight can be used individually for self improvement and on a company-wide basis to better understand what sets their best people apart. In this way we help talent and opportunity better find and match each other like never before.We collect unstructured data through the most natural and effective of feedback processes: the simple conversation. We analyze the data using human experts and machine learning to provide deep insight that surpasses the sum of its parts. The process is high touch (we actually call everyone in person), risk free, and enjoyable. Our customers are business leaders, professionals, and high fliers looking for insight. Customers get 10 questions, 10 respondents, and a 15 page hand-written report. Our business has sprung from a decade of manually providing feedback to the world\’s best executives, and our passion to provide massive amounts of insight to improve the world. Most organizations have some kind of 360 process, where an individual receives feedback from their manager, their peers, and those they manage. But these systems are stuck in the 1980s: survey based with a small amount of text that leave respondents exposed and recipients bewildered. We are using the latest technology to rapidly update the model and provide the next level of leadership data, and meaningful data that will help individuals, HR, leaders, recruiters, and the world. We\’re building a leadership AI. |
