Discovery Learning Enhances Discovery 360Ú Series™ with Comparative Reporting and Release of Updated Normative Data

Discovery Learning Inc., a provider of research-based learning environments that lead directly to individual, team and organizational improvement, announces enhancements to two of the Company's 360 assessments in the popular Discovery 360Ú Series. The enhancements include new comparative reporting capabilities and the release of updated normative data at no charge via the Discovery Learning website, www.discoverylearning.com.

Greensboro, NC (PRWEB) June 16, 2009 -- Discovery Learning announces enhanced reporting features and the availability of updated norms for two of the 360 assessments in the company's popular Discovery 360Ú Series (http://www.discoverylearning.com/products/discovery-360-series.aspx).

The new reporting (http://www.discoverylearning.com/resources/online-surveys-demo.htm) features let users of the Discovery Leadership Profile™ (DLP) and the Discovery Leadership Profile for Public Health™ (DLPPH) compare feedback from direct reports, peers and supervisors with feedback received by users at other companies in the same position and industry.

In addition to this new reporting feature, which is delivered both graphically and statistically, updated norms for DLP and DLPPH (http://www.discoverylearning.com/resources/normative-data.htm) are now available for review at no charge via the Discovery Learning website.

These enhancements are the latest results of Discovery Learning's constant learning and improvement of their products through research and development. The addition of title- and industry-specific comparative feedback makes the Discovery 360Ú Series even more valuable to leaders and managers seeking to improve their effectiveness.

"Because a purely internal view can be skewed by an organization's culture, the chance to compare personal feedback with feedback received by managers at other companies provides 360 users with a better understanding of how effective they really are," says Chris Musselwhite, President of Discovery Learning.

The Discovery 360Ú Series includes one general leadership assessment and three industry-specific assessments: Discovery Leadership Profile, Discovery Leadership Profile for Public Health, Discovery Leadership Profile for Educators™, and Discovery Leadership Profile for the Public Sector™.

Noted for their brevity and targeted content in the industry-specific versions, each of the surveys in the Discovery 360Ú Series is completed and administered entirely online, maintaining confidentiality and streamlining the administration process.

Each 360 is also accompanied by a goal-setting component, allowing individuals to set up to five goals to work on over a 12-week period. Combined, these features make the Discovery Learning 360Ú Series as comprehensive as lengthier surveys while making them much more relevant, much less time-consuming for raters, users and administrators and significantly more affordable.
