ROI Coaching

"Coaching that creates Wealth"

Did you know that according to the latest research report from the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD):

Spending on learning and development within the UK has reduced by an average of 27% over the last 12 months;

and that

60% of training managers have reported that they will be under increased pressure to prove the value they are adding to their organisation this year?

But why, you might ask, aren't they doing this already? What makes it so difficult?

Widely considered to be the godfather of modern economics, Adam Smith defined four types of fixed capital as far back as 1776. These were:

1. useful machines, instruments of the trade
2. buildings as the means of procuring revenue
3. improvements of land
4. human capital

Nobel Prize winning economist Gary Becker built on this theory in 1964. In this view, an organisation's output depends on the 'rate of return' on the human capital it owns. Thus, human capital is a source of value, into which additional investment (training, learning etc) yields additional output.

Meanwhile, the learning community was developing models by which this additional value could be measured (Kirkpatrick, 1959; Hamblin, 1974 etc). However, the incremental manner in which these models were often presented meant that the truly tangible benefits from learning, e.g. the impact on business results, was often either never gotten to or was lost under a swathe of information about learner satisfaction or enhanced skills and behaviours. In fact it wasn't until people like Phillips, Kearns and Brinkerhoff came along that we truly began to realise the potential in measuring the return on investment from learning in £-value or 'human capital investment' terms.

What we at Facilitator.org.uk have done is turn the complex formulas and algorithms of these thought leaders in terms of ROI and human capital investment into a series of easy to understand and use tools and techniques that all coaches and learning practitioners can use.

For coaching and mentoring in particular we have developed the truly ground-breaking Bullseye™ and Escalator™ ROI evaluation models, which provide coaches and mentors with easy to use yet extremely powerful tools with which to calculate and communicate both the qualitative and the quantitative (ROI) benefits from individual coaching interventions; and to be able to extrapolate these up to the organisational level if required.

The Bullseye Model 1.Records both quantitative (ROI) and qualitative results 2.Records both personal and business related results 3.Checks back on wider relationships and the 'cost' of success 4.Builds in sustainability and long-term benefits realisation
