Read the article to learn more about how mobile learning should be used to support formal learning and provide performance support.  Since “humans work much better with smaller chunks” (of information) over time,  mobile learning is an obvious solution for job aids, checklists, references and other performance support tools made available just-in-time.

A Critical Eye on Coaching

Posted on by Seniye Groff

CLO’s April 2012 magazine had a great article on the benefits of coaching as a leadership development tool. There is a difference between general performance based coaching which happens on a daily basis and executive coaching which is tied to a senior leader’s strategic goals.  Either way, both types of coaching is focused on changing behavior and skill development and requires a committed partnership mindset.

According to Edwards, there is a “six step process for effective executive coaching engagements:

  1. Business need evaluation
  2. Engagement scope, strategy and approach
  3. Coachee assessment
  4. Goal setting/action planning
  5. Coaching engagement delivery
  6. Evaluation and measurement.”
