CONSULTING AND COACHING

 

What is Consulting and Coaching?

Consulting or Coaching should be a part of any Strategic Planning Processes, Change Management, Re-Engineering and Implementation of Innovation, especially in conflictive situations or when a broad participation of many affected and interested stakeholders is necessary or advisable.

 

Phases:

Interviews, document analysis, observation and analysis of key factors Þ diagnosis Þ clarification of goals and objectives Þ perception and analysis of the problem(s) Þ design of adequate procedures Þ definition of tasks Þ identification of potential synergies Þ monitoring and follow up Þ feedback Þ adaptive management targeting improvement and optimization

 

Advantages:

Consulting and coaching ensure the independent and neutral development of diagnosis, free from existing intra and inter-organizational hierarchies and latent adversarial situations. An integrated approach (top-down and bottom-up) is promoted, involving all structural levels of the organization aiming at the improvement and acceleration of reflection, planning and decision making processes. As everyone is involved in terms of equality all interests are heard and included.



When to Contact a Consultant or Coach?

  • In case you want to optimize your project or your organization/company
  • Whenever you need to economize financial and human resources on a short, medium and long run, while ensuring that stakeholders are heard.
  • When you have questions or need more information on appropriate methodologies for managing conflicts, active participation of stakeholders or professional facilitation of meetings
  • Whenever you want to hold participative meetings, workshops or other events without involving external mediators or facilitators (using your own human resources).
