Impact assessment (National and Europe)
Managers nation and Europe (in project partner countries) wide where asked to give feedback about impact on them personall,
their organisation. Answers where wery positive and here are some of them:
• It was very interesting to learn opinions of others.
• It is very usefull method to managers.
• Very happy with assessment and feedback. It helped me and my organisation a lot to understand the management level in pur
organisation.
• It is a good tool to identify areas that need improvement in your development and also where your strengths lie. Then you can
plan personal or organisational development.
• This is an excellent tool for personal and team development. We have lerned a lot.
• It is a good thing, that we did it, because it will enable us to monitor trends in changing behaviour.
• I found the feedback highly useful; it helped me to understand differences in scoring and the possible reasons/explanations for
these.
• After testing I and my company are more aware of areas where could concentrate some personal and company development.
• It was helpful to have this test and the feedback to think about why certain scores were high/low and why there were
discrepancies between my own view and that of others.
• There where useful recommendations which I will definitely take on board and think about in my work.
• Slightly disappointed that the results were not as high as my standards for myself, but this is a positive thing, and I can now look
at what are the barriers to the scores that I would have liked. It has given me real direction about what areas I need to work on.

It was a very interesting process, that confirmed my existing self knowledge. I am in the process of acting on this, by changing
jobs/relocating – this confirmed I had made the correct decision. I did find it useful, and would recommend it to others.
It was important to have the face to face feedback from my mentor who had some idea of my strengths and weaknesses and
could suggest positive actions to increase my effectiveness and the effectiveness of the organisation.
