The Booth Company (TBC), a global assessment company with over 4 decades of experience, specializing in 360 degree feedback and survey customization, marks the fifteenth anniversary of trademarking the term “720 Feedback.” The term “720 Feedback” refers to the concept of a pre-post 360 assessment which obtains multi-rater feedback. 720 Feedback® provides a second assessment that allows participants to compare their results over time.
