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.
