Functional Coaching

Understanding the core capability and skills your people must possess in order to be successful in their role to implement your current strategies, and how the organisation will go about developing or acquiring that capability is critical to future business success.

The KONA Group has developed an Executive Coaching Programme to meet the needs of individuals within their functional role or transition them to the ‘next step’, be it SALES, the front end of the business, or OPERATIONS, the engine room.

We establish the benchmark required by assisting clients to readily and accurately identify their capability needs. Utilising a number of our diagnostic tools we are able to clearly identify an individuals level of capability across the benchmark and a Professional Development plan is established, introducing methodology and the skills required to close the capability gap.

Clients are able to engage us to conduct any or all of the following capability based services:

• Organisation Functional Mapping
• Establishment of strategic capability mapping methods and procedures
• Current capability inventory
• Capability gap analysis
• Capability development/acquisition strategy
• Executive Coaching - professional development to assist individuals to ‘close the gap’

Executive Coaching is all about transitioning the ‘theoretical’ information
to ‘practical application’ within their role.

The outcome of Organisation Functional Mapping is clarity as to exactly what key capabilities you must possess amongst your team members if the organisation is to achieve its most significant objectives along with a plan of action to acquire those capabilities. The Functional Coaching effectively ‘transitions’ individuals to the level of capability the organisation requires within their role and is conducted over a period of time utilising a combination of workshops, one-on-one ‘on the job’ coaching, goal setting and continuous monitoring or mentoring.

Executive Coaching is also utilised to implement the new knowledge, skills and methodologies people learn during workshops. It has been proven that the benefit of supporting a ‘training’ programme with ‘coaching’ increases the traction of information learnt by 80% ensuring a sound return on the investment.
