Coaching that gives your organization the human resources they need for a competitive edge.

When it comes to human resources and organizational development, you want the right people ready at the right time.

Let’s be honest. Living in the digital age and today’s workplace economic environment has significantly changed the human resources and organizational development landscape. No longer can organizations afford to hire employees and hope they stay long enough to justify the expense of training them. You can’t afford to invest resources in poor performers but you must invest in high potential leaders.

You need talent that makes a difference. You are not just looking for good results, but remarkable results.
You need to attract and develop the leadership talent to support your business operations and your customers.
You need to develop the pipeline of emerging talent as your organization anticipates future retirements from the “baby boomer” generation.

You need on-target®

on-target®: Redefining the organizational coaching experience

We use innovative and practical approaches to help leaders and high-potentials understand the impact their leadership styles and performance have on them, their team and your organization.

We get to the heart of your coaching challenges and implement tools and processes that drive results, accountability, and measure impact.

With the on-target® coaching product, you get a time-tested methodology that will deliver leader performance and give your organization the competitive edge it needs.

on-target® identifies your challenges and delivers solutions. You live in a world where your organization has become more dependent upon you to provide the crucial frameworks, processes, tools, and perspectives needed for the selection and development of future leaders. You need a program that:

Ensures the right leaders are retained
Creates a culture that supports performance from within to gain market position
Equips managers to take on leadership roles of the future to guarantee long-term, workable solutions for the organization

Today’s leaders are searching for organizations that will give them autonomy, mastery and purpose. High performers know an organization needs their skills, but with fewer internal resources, tighter budgets and streamlined benefits; they often try to fend for themselves rather than ask for help.

By using on-target®, you let your leaders know they are worth investing in, which encourages a greater commitment to the organization.

Why You Should Choose on-target®

Coaching is undeniably an important leadership practice for aligning talent with your organizational priorities. It can also boost performance, develop your leadership pipeline, engage employees and reduce turnover - if done well.

Many respected MBA programs, including the Wharton program at the University of Pennsylvania, the Harvard business School, and ESMT in Germany, have taken an interest in executive coaching and are implementing it into their curriculum to prepare future leaders.

The mean ROI for companies investing in coaching was seven times the initial investment, according to a recent global survey reported by Forbes. And, for more than 25 percent of respondents, the ROI was 10-49 times the investment.

The on-target® coaching product is designed to accelerate the success of new leaders and positively impact your organization’s business performance. Leaders, their managers, HR partners and other key stakeholders are all involved in the process.

The on-target® Difference

There are many coaching options in the marketplace today. Unfortunately, most options lack structure and organizational involvement. Without those aspects, the coaching results are often very subjective, and ROI is sketchy. on-target® delivers ROI and clear results through our uniquely defined process.

Discovery

on-target® identifies the real potential of a leader and provides a clear path to improved performance. The expertise and objectivity of external Connect the Dots professionals coupled with the insider view of stakeholders, provides a multi-tier involvement process that complements the client’s business model.

Define

Early in the process, data collection defines the current state. From there, we define formal objectives and communicate expectations. Then, a multi-tier road map and a specific coaching plan are created and implemented for a finite time period, usually several months.

Implement

on-target® takes care of the coaching, feedback and progress reports. Our on-target® professionals work closely with the leader to ensure she stays on track and offers help and insights when needed.

Measure

on-target® has built-in progress review meetings with stakeholders, utilizing unique feedback instruments. The process culminates with a final report detailing progress, ROI and recommendations.
