Cloud Systems will improve Coaching

Cloud Systems significantly improve coaching results. They enable the end client to lead their development, enable the coach to provide more relevant content  and the stakeholders to interact with and monitor the progress.

 

Successful coaching requires human qualities. The coach / client partnership needs a certain amount of courage, determination, openness and rapport.  An automated system that builds on these can significantly add value to the relationship. At EBCN we see the potential of Cloud Systems and we support the CoachingCloud(TM) online coaching and mentoring platform.  All our coaches work with new clients to help them understand and get the best results from the Cloud System.

Cloud Systems allow you to log in from anywhere from multiple devices and offer a high level of security. They make it possible to organise and access all your coaching information in one place, and for coaching programs make it easy to access key management information. It means that the organisations can now track the value they receive from coaching programmes.

Introducing Coaching Cloud Systems to a Business or Corporate Client

We suggest four different approaches to ensure successful introduction of a Coaching Cloud system to business or corporate client. The appropriate implementation will make a significant difference to the overall success of the project.

1) Step Change and Transformational

The most successful coaching programmes will have a framework that aligns with individual, team and corporate objectives, be transparent, have an agreed measurement process, and have buy in and understanding at all levels in the organisation.

Introducing the use of Cloud Systems can be a focal point to move the organisation up what we call the ‘Coaching Readiness Curve’, which will improve the effectiveness of coaching and the results achieved.

The starting point is an analysis phase to determine the possible benefits of coaching and the opportunities and challenges to achieve these benefits.

A mixture of the other approaches may then be used as enablers to achieve those results.

Benefits

Will ensure you receive the best medium and long term value from your investment in coaching across the organisation

Challenges

Requires a small but upfront Initial investment in money and management time across the organisation to develop a coaching plan aligned with business objectives.

Requires an acceptance from the CEO and top team that coaching offers a genuine means of improving both business results and  employee satisfaction.

2) Application / Coaching Programme Led

This is where one or more specific and managed end-to-end coaching applications are used to spearhead the introduction of cloud systems. Examples might be:

1) MGSCC leadership coaching
2) MGSCC team coaching
3) Buddy Coaching
4) Intercompany Coaching and Mentoring
5) Dispersed Team Coaching
6) Learning Management System

Benefits

Will ensure you receive the best short and medium term value from your investment in coaching in the chosen application (s)

The process, system, follow up, measurement and documentation are already developed and can be used

Can be used as a case study for best practice in running a coaching programme

Challenges

Requires buy in from the  business leader (s) who benefit most from the coaching application (s)

The business sponsor,  programme owner and coaching clients need to be fully briefed

3) Supporting and improving current processes

You have access to the elements of the system that you need and access to  a technical help desk. You have access to coaching consultancy as required, as well as access to any coaches that you may need.

Benefits

Can reduce the cost of what your current programmes now and/or improve how they are monitored, measured and continually developed

Challenges

You may not be aligned to the real needs and opportunities of the business

4) DIY, do what you want yourself

You have access to the elements of the system that you need and access to a technical help desk.

Benefits

The lowest investment required. As in 3) can reduce the cost of what your current programmes now and/or improve how they are monitored, measured and continually developed

Challenges

You may not be aligned to the real needs and opportunities of the business

You may not have the internal knowledge to develop your programmes effectively leading to both lower return and higher cost, and in doing so damaging the image of coaching in the organisation.
