Why e-Coaching?
Today, companies require
coaching and learning support to be provided to all their key
employees in a continuous and timely way in order to build sustainable
competitive advantage for the
new knowledge-driven economy and
compete
successfully in the rapidly changing marketplace. Responding to these needs, the
first-ever online Business e-Coach has been launched at
1000ventures.com in 2001.
Business e-Coach - Your Achievement Catalyst
Don't Take It Too
Seriously
Don't take the Business e-Coach too seriously. First and
foremost, it's about inspiration, creativity, eye-opening, and systems
thinking. The Business e-Coach does contain some detailed step-by-step
"how-to" guides wherever required (see
example), but it's main task is to help you look
not deeper, but wider, get a bigger picture, and discover winning
synergies.
If you wish to get most of the Business e-Coach, relax and
open your mind. Don't spent more than one hour on each exploration tour.
It's better divide your learning process into many shorter sessions than
into few longer ones.
Your brain
can accept or generate innovative ideas for a limited period of time only.
It needs some rest afterwards.
Uncovering the Iceberg of Opportunities
The Mission of the Business e-Coach is to help you find
innovative solutions to "The
Iceberg Problem": how to discover and exploit what is hidden below the
surface? Your own and your organization's results can be multiplied. Your
leadership, marketing, and competing arts and skills can be improved
dramatically. Your innovation resources and capabilities can be integrated
and synergized much better. Our Business e-Coach is at 24/7 service to help
you identify and exploit hidden resources and opportunities, set the right
goals and achieve them...More
Unlocking Your True Potential
As opposite to e-learning and e-mentoring
courses that are built around a specific subject, e-coach focuses at
your personality and starts with unlocking
your true potential. Based on the neuro linguistic programming (NLP)
technology of achievement, it
helps you identify and define your specific goals,
and then organize yourself to attain these goals. This innovative
service was designed to meet the challenges of the
new economy driven
by
entrepreneurship and knowledge-based enterprises characterized by flat hierarchical structures and
employee empowerment. In these new
enterprises, top managers
delegate more power to employees and assume more
leadership tasks. They also lead employees to lead themselves.
Employee
self-leadership has become the key to success in the new economy. Business
e-coach helps these new leaders and self-leaders grow though unlocking
their true potential and releasing their inner power.
Building Your Competitive Advantage
The Business e-Coach provides you with the opportunity, and
the insights, to see things in new ways. It will catapult you to a new level
of cross-functional excellence
and thus will help you create and master innovative business models.
These fresh approaches can and will provide a great competitive advantage for your business
unit and your personal carrier development.
Building Your Cross-Functional Excellence
In the new era of
systemic innovation, it is more
important for organizations and lead innovators to be
cross-functionally
excellent than functionally excellent. Forces operating outside your
vertical industry position in one way or another have a major impact on your
business. Despecialization, looking beyond the micro issues and achieving
powerful synergies by integrating specialized skills and experiences will
help you to lead a mission that encompasses a broad range of disciplines and
functional capabilities.
Business e-coach helps you to acquire
knowledge related to different areas related to your business, understand
the nature of their relationships and master a
balanced business systems strategy based on this understanding...More
Nurturing Your
Entrepreneurial Creativity
While building your
cross-functional excellence,
business e-coach prompts you to build new connections, look for wider solutions and "think beyond
the box". It inspires creative ideas and enhances your
creative
thinking capabilities. Business e-coach helps you break out of
self-imposed limitations, abandon the step-by-step approach, think sideways
and explore new directions. As opposite to vertical thinking, it facilitates
lateral creative thinking
which is very important in the new economy driven by change - continuous,
rapid and complex, that generates uncertainty and requires
fast innovative
solutions. It also inspires creative solution for achieving business
objectives through externalization - in collaboration with the full range of
external forces.
Build around the Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP)
technology of achievement, Business e-Coach enhances your
self-motivation through engaging your
imagination power, developing your achievement
management skills, and, ultimately, building-up the 'can-do' attitude.
Simulating a Creative-Chaos
Environment
Through its innovative and sophisticated system of
hyperlinks, Business e-Coach introduces new
personal
and
business development ideas. It prompts you to ask effective questions
about yourself and your business and conveniently places you just one click away
from a choice of creative solutions. The Business e-Coach does not try to
suggest best solutions, instead it builds your
cross-functional excellence,
widens your horizons and helps you build your own unique and winning
cross-functional combinations.
Just-in-Time (JIT) Coaching and Learning
The best kind of quality oriented learning is
just-in-time-style learning, that is, learning that happens on
the job and knowledge which is applied immediately as needed. The sooner you
can apply the material you learned, the better you will understand it and
the longer it will be retained. Instead of developing large information
reserves, JIT-style business e-coach helps its clients to acquire new
knowledge that they can apply immediately, without suffering information
overload.
Revolutionary Approach to
Development of the Business e-Coach
The classic advise "do one thing at a time" works well in a
linear innovation environment. The emerging era of
systemic
innovation requires new approaches however. Today, main benefits are
found in building innovative and synergistic combinations among different
functions rather than in developing a linear functional excellence. This new
approach was applied to development of the Business e-Coach as well. It is
developed not as a library of independent documents, instead hundreds of
both functional and cross-functional coaching guides are developed
simultaneously and cross-pollinated in a synergistic way. This a continuous
never-ending process that reacts fast to continuous and rapid changes in the
marketplace.
