Unlike many online 360 degree assessment products, Perspectives 360 has been around for some time. It was developed in 2001 to research the skill needs of managers.  

Perspective 360 was originally called Management Perspectives. The name changed in 2009 because there are now many different Editions including Manager, Public Sector Leadership, Business Advisor and Assessor.
