LIVE COACHING: live my manager’s life

Often mixed up with « life coaching » aka coaching in the personal life, live coaching is growing more popular for managers willing to take their practice to the next level. A coach is always limited. By time. By his ethics. By the coachee’s discourse. In traditional executive coaching, the coach only works indirectly with the reality expressed by the coached. The coach bases his analyses solely on his observations during the sessions and on the situations told by the coached. However some specific situations may demand highly efficient and responsive support. This makes it necessary to be able to question directly the facts told by the coached to help him more efficiently. Therefore in live coaching, not only does the coach plan sessions with his clients, he also takes part in crucial business moments of the manager’s life. The coach attends meetings and can...

Let’s innovate, shall we?
A common mistake is to believe innovation is only about developing new products. But what top executives should really look at is the degree of “Business Innovation” in their organization.

Accelerating the dissemination of best practices and stimulating cross-functional exchanges

Accelerating the dissemination of best practices and stimulating cross-functional exchanges
The Vivacci coaching team recently met with a group of Human Resource Managers, Training Managers and Communication Managers in order to hear about the experience of their companies, all major groups, in disseminating good practices and developing cross-functional collaboration. Practice sharing is rarely spontaneously practised in these large organizations; each individual relies on others or on the "system" to disseminate good practices. Certain clients have tried to compile an inventory of best practices but with little success; selection of what is "best" has proved to be difficult owing to the overriding climate of in-house competition that tends to pollute the process and make people lose sight of the objective of mutual enrichment. At Vivacci we are experienced in facilitating the sharing of "good practices" and are able to propose organized practice exchange processes based on themes that are of...
