• To maximize knowledge transfer

Coaching & Mentoring provides a learning channel that effectively transfers knowledge within the organization. Critical knowledge is maintained, contextual learning is evident, and customization of skills in relation to the core activities of the business is retained. Cross-training of staff can be achieved, and for succession planning, the ability for the organization to identify ‘fast track’ candidates and prepare them for new jobs is enhanced by coaching & mentoring. Coaching & Mentoring can ensure continuity of performance when key staff leave the organization because core skills have been transferred.
