The market for development through individual, helping conversations has developed immensely over the last 10 years. Coaching and mentoring are the two approaches that have received most attention. Coaching has developed into a multitude of different approaches and methods – and mentoring today is offered by most, large organisations e.g. for talent development and integration of new employees. During this course we will seek to define the fundamental concepts in coaching and mentoring as well as explore different theoretical and practical approaches used in an organizational context. We will look at a number of different cases to identify the challenges and dilemmas in design and implementation – as well as look at the assumptions and understanding of coaching and mentoring underlying these programs. We will look at results from research to gain new perspectives on what works and to reflect on how organizations can better implement coaching and mentoring programs that benefit both the participants and the organization. In this way we will create new understanding of the individual learning process of the mentor and the mentee, the coach and the coachee, and how the individual learning processes can contribute to the organization learning process and the achievement of organizational and strategic goals. |
