Mentoring is an alternative
to Consulting or conventional training and provides a way to rapidly
achieve improved skills and capabilities. With Consultancy there
is sometimes the risk that at the end of the project crucial knowledge
resides in the consultant's head and nowhere else.
This may be good for the consultant but it is bad
for your business. Training can sometimes be too general or address
too large a group. Mentoring provides a more formal method of avoiding
these risks by being focused and more individual.
Over a relatively short period of time, typically days or weeks,
Mentoring provides specific assistance to a small group or to an
individual, focused on passing over a specific set of skills, rather
than implementing a part of a project.
Mentoring is an enabling technique and very
effective in overcoming initial steep learning curves associated
with rapid change and the introduction of new technology. We have
used Mentoring to introduce new product changes, new operating systems,
new project management techniques and training methods to both large
and small organisation.
