Coaching to Lead and Support Organisational Change

For organisations who seek to utilise their internal learning capacity more effectively through building a coaching culture, Optimise focuses upon embedding the coaching skills training across all levels, notably encouraging senior leaders to be seen to participate. We help companies ensure that the change in management style is an integral part of the company’s vision and strategy; we jointly review the structures within the business to ensure awareness of the systemic obstacles that send conflicting messages across a business between what is espoused and what happens daily. To be able to measure progress we work with companies to design their own in-house success criteria and systems of measurement.

A client’s view of the benefits of creating a coaching culture:

• increased productivity, efficiency and performance

• greater innovation and utilisation of resources

• a more flexible workforce

• better identification of problems therefore better decision making

• better communication particularly of objectives

• increased sales

• improved customer service

• focused attention on the Brand

• more time for managers to take the business forward

• more motivated people, higher morale, better team spirit

• a feeling of ownership, more honesty

• a more positive attitude rather than blame culture
