Hal Varian, Google's chief economist, is quoted as saying that "Data are widely available, what is scarce is the ability to extract wisdom from them". I'm focusing heavily at the moment on debriefing 360 degree feedback and the 360 degree feedback report. For both an upcoming seminar, and a new whitepaper, I'm looking to fine tune our thoughts around how we make best use of a 360 feedback process.
The current line of thinking is to consider how data becomes information becomes knowledge/wisdom. The 360 feedback questionnaire generates data. Our challenge is to take that data and produce information from which the recipient gains knowledge. Along the way we have to avoid the dangers of losing information or of forming unwise conclusions.
The report and the conversation around the report is where the transformation happens and where best practice can lead to the best knowledge outcomes.
