How People are Using QwikCoach
Here are a few examples of how people are using QwikCoach to get the performance and development support they urgently need.
Dealing with Change
Jeff has been told that he’s not handling change very well and that this could compromise his ability to lead the organization’s next major change initiative.
Jeff has two options.
Option 1:
He can ignore the input and hope it won’t affect his chances to lead.
Option 2:
He can be proactive and do something about it now.
Jeff chooses to act now and uses QwikCoach to get needed coaching insights and advice on how to handle and lead change.
Manager as Coach
Mary is a manager who works for a large software development company.
The company recently announced that all managers must be effective coaches and Mary doesn’t know where to start.
With QwikCoach, Mary finds a coaching model and real coaching content she can use to guide and support her coaching efforts.
Agile Performance Management
The CEO of Strydex has decided to scrap the company’s ineffective “old-school” performance management program.
The plan is to adopt a more agile approach with an emphasis on frequent coaching, feedback, and reinforcement. Many companies are benefiting from making this change and Strydex wants to be one of them.
By giving everyone access to QwikCoach, an effective move to Agile Performance Management is now possible.
Competency Modeling
Today, many organizations have invested substantial time, effort, and money to develop a relevant and robust competency model.
While these organizations expect their employees to understand the model and focus development efforts around it they often lack the ability to “operationalize” their model — to help people put the competencies they advocate into everyday practice.
QwikCoach provides a way!
With QwikCoach we are able to map your organization’s core competencies to QwikCoach content and in this way promote the widespread and active use of your organization’s Competency Model.
