Unlocking Cultural Gridlocks and Transforming Organisations

Deriving Strategic Business Value from Next Generation Coaching By Lorna McDowell, Organisation Analyst & International Leadership Coach- Are you reaping enough value from Coaching?
- Many organisations talk about "creating a coaching culture", but do they actually know what they are trying to achieve?
Xenergie's experience finds that an absence of strategy or management around coaching processes is holding companies in the very cultural gridlock they are attempting to address.Coaching has the potential to deliver profound and widespread value and organisational improvement. The opportunity exists for coaching to be a key enabler of transformation, innovation, efficiency, improvement, learning, strategic risk management and cultural flexibility - essentials for surviving, adapting and thriving in the fast changing economic conditions.
Although the uptake of coaching has now reached a critical mass, approaches to managing coaching so that it reaps maximum business and strategic value are still, for the most, immature. The harvest for system-wide impact, therefore, has been minimal compared to what it could be.
