VECTOR 360: The Data-Driven 360 Tool

Modern engineering and technical teams rely on precision, timely feedback, and actionable insights. Yet, traditional 360-degree assessments often overwhelm staff with generic ratings, offering little more than a static snapshot. VECTOR 360 takes a different approach.

Designed having analytical workplaces in mind, VECTOR 360 is straightforward, affordable, and built to reveal both leadership potential and areas for growth through meaningful feedback. Inspired by the concept of a vector in physics—combining magnitude and direction—VECTOR 360 views every professional as having unique potential alongside a clear direction for personal development. This tool isn’t about ticking HR boxes; it gives technical professionals the data they need to chart their growth based on evidence, not assumptions.

How VECTOR 360 Works

Users—whether engineers, managers, or contributors—select peers and direct reports to provide anonymous feedback alongside their own self-assessment. VECTOR 360’s strength lies in combining these different perspectives—self, peer, and team—to create a well-rounded picture of strengths, blind spots, and focus areas. But the process doesn’t stop at dashboards. Each report is reviewed and discussed together with me, turning data into clear, practical steps. This leads to a personalized development plan that fits naturally into annual goals or project reviews.

What VECTOR 360 Measures

VECTOR 360 goes beyond typical leadership personality tests. It targets eight essential dimensions for today’s technical leaders:

1. Values and Awareness: Self-awareness, personal principles, and balancing individual with team needs.

2. Interpersonal Style: Clarity, authenticity, inspiration, and listening skills—key for influencing rather than just managing.

3. Strategic Decision-Making: Evidence-based judgment, alignment with objectives, and trustworthy decisions.

4. Teamwork: Transparency, collaboration, and behaviours that hold high-performing teams together.

5. Dynamism: Adaptability, agility, and resilience when facing change or uncertainty.

6. People Development: Mentoring, guiding, and empowering others—a must-have trait for engineering leaders.

7. Learning Growth: Continuous self-improvement and openness to new knowledge.

8. Psychological Safety: Creating inclusive spaces where vulnerability is welcomed and ideas can surface safely.

Why VECTOR 360 Works

For engineers and technical teams, VECTOR 360 delivers feedback that is direct, practical, and grounded in observable behaviors, not vague labels. It’s quick to roll out, scalable, and every feedback session ends with actionable insights, not just abstract scores. Most importantly, discussing VECTOR 360 results with a coaching professional removes guesswork and bias, enabling honest reflection and targeted growth.

Why VECTOR 360 is Close to my Heart

VECTOR 360 was created by Psychonomics in South Africa—a detail that resonates deeply with me. South Africa’s rich diversity and resilience bring a culture of openness and adaptability to the tool. VECTOR 360 encourages genuine dialogue, values every voice, and centers psychological safety. Rather than ranking performance, it promotes honest feedback and growth in ways that are both practical and human-centered. This approach respects the full complexity of teams and helps unlock true potential.

For technical professionals seeking data-driven self-awareness that drives real performance, VECTOR 360 offers a clear, trustworthy roadmap for growth.

If serious development aligned with measurable outcomes is your goal, VECTOR 360 is a proven, user-friendly solution crafted for today’s engineering and technical environments.
