Corporate Coaching

Corporate coaching is primarily about achieving long term goals for the individual, a team or the business. Before commencing a corporate coaching programme it is important to decide if you are really interested in the long term. Some individuals and businesses, because of their present environment are unable to make long term commitments. Some industries have to have long term plans because of the leadtimes of their projects and the scale of investment that is required.

There has been a lot of criticism about the short term approach adopted by a variety of businesses in the western economies. There is some evidence that this attitude is forced onto the chief executive by shareholders demanding improved performance each year. The turnover rate of chief executives is relatively high with typical tenure lasting less than three years. By comparison there is annecdotal evidence that Southern European and Far East companies adopt a longer term approach to decision making although there is a counter argument that their capital markets are less efficient.

I think most people will accept there has been significant change affecting most business sectors over the last twenty years. With modern technology and communication it is now possible to operate trans-nationaly in a manner that was not feasible only a short time previously. There is a greater emphasis now to reduce the time to get a new product to market, to reduce the time necessary to achieve break-even and to have a pipeline of new products ready to enter the market. The potential market for most products is now far larger with even micro-enterprises operating internationaly via the internet. With the rate of change continuing to accelerate the modern corporate executive faces challenges with very few up to date tools and methods to help in the decision making process.
