Revolutionizing Talent Development through 360-Degree Feedback

In today's rapidly evolving corporate landscape, the importance of continuous employee development can’t be overstated. It’s no longer sufficient to simply evaluate performance; organizations must leverage feedback tools in a manner that drives tangible growth. This is precisely the mission outlined by Cbase, an HR survey cloud service company based in Tokyo, Japan. At their upcoming special seminar during the HR Conference 2026, Cbase will address how the company, along with MIXI, successfully connects 360-degree feedback processes to effective talent development strategies.

The Essence of the Seminar

On May 19, 2026, from 16:00 to 16:50, Cbase will present a dialogue between Mitsunori Sugimura, Head of HR at MIXI, and Cbase's CEO, Mikio Fukai. Their discussion will center around the theme, "360-Degree Feedback: Designing Initiatives that Drive Behavioral Change Without Becoming Superficial." This engaging format aims to unravel the intricacies of feedback systems and offer insights into how they can function as a framework for ongoing employee and organizational growth, rather than merely serving as an assessment tool.

Understanding the Feedback Mechanism

In the workshop, the speakers will delve into how MIXI has positioned and evolved their use of 360-degree feedback within their employee development framework. They will share early challenges faced during the implementation of the CBASE360° system, exploring the trial-and-error methodology involved in embedding a more sustained feedback culture within MIXI.

This part of the seminar seeks not only to illustrate the challenges but also to spell out clear criteria that organizations can adopt to prevent feedback initiatives from becoming stale or overlooked. The overarching goal is to reframe 360-degree feedback as a vital component of ongoing talent nurturing and growth within an organization.

Who Should Attend?

The seminar targets HR professionals and organizational leaders who are eager to understand how to leverage the power of 360-degree feedback effectively. This is ideal for those who have found themselves caught in the cycle of short-term feedback initiatives that fail to convert into meaningful development outcomes. If you've ever felt like your organization struggles to connect feedback with developmental pathways, this is an opportunity you can’t afford to miss.
