For the individual

• Before an annual performance appraisal session to measure how behaviors, preferences or competencies may have changed over time (self or 360 degree feedback)
• After an appraisal session to gain a deeper perspective on development needs identified from the one to one discussion and to develop a personal action plan
• As a means to discover areas for improvement in a specific area like time management or communication etc.

For the organization

• Having individual(s) to complete a questionnaire before a training course or workshop to better understand their own preferences or competencies or to more fully understand the topic area to be discussed
• Encouraging an individual(s) to assess themselves in particular areas prior to or in preperation for a promotion, rotation or job move.
• As a means of helping individuals better understand critical feedback from others about behaviors or competencies that are seen to be in need of development
