Overview

Blackshaw Management Consulting is now the leading organisation providing development reviews for officers and staff of UK Students' Unions/Associations through our pdr36O review process. In the 2019/20 academic year we have already delivered over 130 individual reports and feedback sessions.

Why are we different? Paired with an independent expert to make the process a success & deliver each report with personalised feedback tailored to the individual

With our foundations in leadership/ management development and with a robust understanding of talent in the students unions sector, we’ve developed a reputation for being the ‘go to’ people for ‘everything 360 feedback’.

We provide individual online questionnaires for officers, managers and CEOs with the last also available as a much fuller process, pdr360 Plus.


pdr360 Plus

pdr360 Plus

pdr36O Plus is a way for Chairs and Trustee Boards to be more directly involved in the review of their Chief Executive. It provides more contextual data for the CEO and their Board to work with and is often linked to formal objective-setting for the CEO with ourselves providing expert support to help balance objectives and meet both CEO and Board expectations.


What's it like?

Personal Development Reviews at its best incorporates elements of assessment, performance management and personal development. To be effective, robust and meaningful, the process should identify good performance and performance requiring improvement at individual and/or team level.

You’ll like that it’ll take guesswork out of your approach and provide clear focus areas for your Managers, Chief Executives, and Officers to improve.

How does it work?

We Describe the PDR360 evaluation process to your organization’s participants and explain how each participant and their supervisors, peers, colleague, direct reports and instituonal partners

We then liase with key people you work closely with to complete an online questionnaire and provide feedback;

Next, we compile and analyze the completed employee evaluations; and

Finally, we hold a one-on-one employee feedback session (delivered on-site or via video and only by our experienced practitioners) with each participant to discuss the confidential results, counsel the participant, and help develop action plans for future employee development.

What do I get?

When used well, the most commonly associated benefits are:

  • Greater Self Awareness
  • Discovering the blind spots
  • Better understanding strengths and development opportunities
  • Taking control and ownership of self-development
  • Supports leaders to 'get it right'
  • Provides the foundation for development conversations
  • Embeds expected working behaviours
  • Reinforces a culture of constructive feedback and open communication
