Compass 360 user guide

Curio Compass 360 helps people and organisations understand, measure and build workforce capability.

Individuals and their colleagues rate capabilities against a framework, and the results point to the learning that will help most. Organisations use Compass 360 for workforce planning, role-specific capability frameworks and career pathways, leadership pipeline readiness, and tracking readiness for change.

What you can do

  • Run self and 360-degree assessments against your own or a standard capability framework
  • See results in real time for individuals, teams and the whole organisation
  • Find gaps and set development priorities
  • Link results to learning resources and development plans
  • Connect with your LMS (such as Moodle or Canvas) and HR systems (such as Workday or SAP)

Completing an assessment

  1. Go to My assessments and choose the assessment for your role or cohort, such as Leadership framework or Digital skills.
  2. Read each capability description and rate yourself on ability (how confident or skilled you are) and importance (how much it matters in your current role). Each rating links to behavioural examples to help you rate consistently.
  3. Add comments or examples if you'd like.
  4. Save as you go, and submit when you're done. You can't change an assessment after you submit it.

If your organisation uses 360 feedback, your manager, peers or coaches may also assess you. We'll let you know when their input is in.

Viewing your results

Go to My reports to see:

  • your top strengths: areas of consistently high performance
  • your development priorities: areas with lower confidence or high importance
  • how your scores compare with earlier assessments
  • heatmaps across capabilities

With 360 feedback, compare how you see yourself with how others see you, and use the differences to guide coaching conversations. You can download your report to discuss with your manager or HR.

Your development plan

Each capability links to learning options, such as online modules in your LMS, internal programs, coaching or mentoring, and external qualifications or microcredentials. Find them in My development plan, update your progress as you go, and bring the plan to performance and development conversations.

For managers

The Team dashboard lets you:

  • see team assessments and completion rates, and send reminders
  • compare self-assessments with your ratings
  • spot capability gaps across your team
  • find guidance on team development planning

Use Compass 360 reports in one-to-ones, align learning plans with team goals, and recognise high performers or coach those who need support.

For administrators

As an administrator you can:

  • create and manage cohorts by department, intake or role
  • set up capability frameworks, levels, behaviours, tags and rating scales
  • map learning resources to capabilities and assign frameworks to groups or roles
  • schedule assessments and manage user access
  • choose the survey type: self-assessment only, 360-degree with peer and manager input, or short pulse surveys
  • track completion in real time, and find inactive users or overdue submissions
  • run individual, team or organisation reports, and export data to your HRIS, Power BI or other analytics tools

Common questions

Can I change an assessment after I submit it? No. Submitted assessments are locked. Ask your administrator to reopen it.

Why can't I see learning resources in my plan? They may not be assigned or mapped yet. Ask your manager or learning team.

What does a "critical" capability mean? Your organisation has flagged it as a high priority for success in your role.

How do I move a user to another cohort? Administrators can use Move to cohort from the user's profile.
