Ascentia Corporate Coaching
Ascentia provides products and services to organisations to leverage the potential of their people. Our focus is on the people in organisations, how to coach and develop them to their fullest potential and how to organise them and the systems around them to maximise their collective potential in the organisational context.
Our work is in the following areas:
-
Corporate Coaching
The most effective coaching takes place in consideration of the organisational context and how that relates to the leader(s) being coached. Ascentia has run many successful Corporate Coaching programmes for clients and can support your organisation’s requirements in the following areas:
- be an active player in your integrated coaching quorum that you call upon for targeted coaching interventions
- build leadership and talent capabilities within a leadership framework, particularly through leveraging behavioural change
- design, implement and project manage wide coaching programmes to specified objectives
- assist you in developing the coaching capability of your leaders and line managers.
-
The Leader as a Coach
According to the CIPD book (2006) The Case for Coaching, nine in ten organisations use coaching by line managers. The use of line manager coaching and external coaching is anticipated to continue to grow.
At Ascentia we offer two coaching programmes. The first is a two day, plus one day follow up aimed at building core coaching confidence and capability. The second is a 12 month long programme focusing on embedding a coaching culture and creating an internal coaching pool. -
Organisational Development
In our experience, the impact of Learning and Development activities is significantly improved when linked to the overall strategic goals and objectives of the organisation. These in turn describe what “effective outcomes” look like for the organisation and start to describe those competencies that lead to success.
Through a web based system known as Assess, we are able to support our client companies along the journey from identifying success led competency frameworks through to delivering a company specific integrated suite of selection, development, assessment and performance management reports. Dependant on the applications, behaviorally based competency models plus the facility to run on-line integrated reports can be rigorously developed in a matter of weeks rather than many months.
-
Assessments
In this section we cover some of the assessment tools we use for individual coaching contracts. For information on assessments as part of wider projects see Executive Assessment.
Diagnostic tools play an important role in our coaching projects. Typically we operate to three phases of:
- Assessments
- Coaching
- Evaluation
We seek first to understand what performance management information and assessments are available within the organisation and to capitalise on these before introducing additional assessments.
-
