Effectively preparing employees for key roles in transformation projects

Process and elements of executive coaching

Executive coaching from INFOMOTION is tailored precisely to the specific needs of transformation projects or programs. The coaching can be temporary, for instance for onboarding key personnel, or ongoing throughout the entire project term. Executive coaching begins with a thorough initial conversation between the coach and coachee. During the conversation, they clarify the tasks at hand, the previous project experience of the coachee, areas of required development, and the length of the coaching, to create an appropriate coaching package for the specific case. Other participants, like a supervisor, can be involved in the briefing and initial discussion upon request.   

Potential approaches to executive coaching: 

Crash course: teaching key work techniques, tools and contexts relevant to the role in the specific project.   
Training on the job: preparing for and following up on the planning meeting together, developing project artifacts together. 
Silent observer: similar to training on the job, but the coachee works independently and receives regular feedback from the executive coach.   
Sparring: coachee acts independently without the coach, and regular confidential meetings are held on challenges and potential solutions.
