Although this happens most easily in an organization that uses forward looking performance contracting, (rather than backward looking performance appraisal,) as its performance management process, every manager can use this coaching framework to understand what skills they need to be an effective coach.

"Learning Organizations, Work Flow and IT"

Voice Over
get PDF here

Organizations use a wide variety of computer business applications to do their day to day business. Automated business work flow capture and "hide" reasons for the sequence of events and reasons for decisions at particular points in this sequence in computer code. Automated business work flows are a "knowledge sink". When changes are made to the automated work flow, management and staff need to be "reminded" of the underlying business rules which have been captured in the automation code, and the reasons for change.

As a result, there is a need for a careful integration between what the IT professionals and the Talent Development / Learning Professionals in the organization are doing. Changes to business work flows need to be tightly coupled to the roll out of organizational change related learning. But this need is not well recognized, resulting in a loss of money, de-motivation and missed opportunity in most modern organizations.

About Influencing Political Stakeholders
"Influencing Stakeholders: Making sure that those who count are aware that you count"

Voice Over


Individuals working on projects and endeavors that need "support" from public figure stakeholders need to include explicit elements in their activities that get this needed support from these people. That requires understanding the "what counts" for such stakeholders, and framing benefits statements in this "stakeholder" language. It also means be very aware of when to send these "we count" messages, since innovative approaches impact differently on and are taken up at different times by "champions, early adopters, the early majority, the late majority and laggards".
