When Barclays Bank wanted to develop a tailored system for 360 degree feedback based on their leadership imperatives model, Training Solutions Group (the parent of profiles-r-us.com Pty Ltd) won the tender. This tender was won because Training Solutions offered an extensive capability in credible management diagnostic instruments (including the popular leadership effectiveness instrument that would serve as a base for the Barclays Bank initiative). In addition, Training Solutions offered a cost effective solution for the systems building process in which the final application would sit on a Barclays internal server and be an integral part of their HR intranet.

Over a period of several months, Training Solutions built three unique on-line diagnostic tools for Barclays Learning and Development and Barclays University team-a Leadership assessment profile, an individual contributor assessment profile and a short pre-course assessment with extensive comment collection capability. To date, these applications (called i2i by Barclays) have been used by several thousand employees across the UK and several other countries (mainly in Europe). Barclays expect over 43,000 employees to use the 121 system on a frequent basis in the future.
