About the Course

How do we manage change to personnel as effectively as we do to change to hardware?

High performing teams do not happen by coincidence. It is a designed outcome where the performance expectations are clearly defined, understood and facilitated based on a structured and engaging management framework.

The foundation required to support role and team enabling is provided through the application of a combination of structured coaching methodologies and a documented framework. This outcome relies on an increased level of maturity in managing people in a tough environment with high turnover and high cost of experienced personnel.

Not ignoring the crucial and basic people aspects of the enabling process, much of the issues typically experienced in organisations can be resolved by managing the basics well. This seems obvious but it has been shown that for many reasons, this goal is often not attained. Ironically, sometimes as result of focusing too much on the soft side of managing this process.

This course provides the practical mechanisms and tools to support effective on-boarding, with coaching practices at the centre. Many case studies are presented on the effectiveness of applying these practices and the achieved outcomes. Exercises are facilitated to demonstrate tools and applications and to familiarise participants with the various processes and activities.

Process, methodology and tool information (e.g. Role Profiles, Role Activity Schedules, Coaching Templates, etc.) will be provided electronically to assist participants with improving team productivity through effective coaching and training.
