Coaching Evaluation

Based on over 30 years of experience, Performance Consultants has developed a coaching evaluation tool to help you measure the return on investment (ROI) of coaching. Coaching for Performance ROI allows you to capture the benefits and estimate the effectiveness of a coaching intervention or the impact of an organizational-wide culture transformation programme.

In business it is often said, "If you can't measure something, you can't manage it".

Methodology

Performance Consultants' methodology for measuring executive coaching ROI builds on widely accepted tools such as Kirkpatrick’s Four Levels which examines participant reactions, learning, behavioural change and, most importantly, business impact.

Our coaching evaluation model begins with the identification of the client’s strategic objectives for the coaching programme, such as enhanced organizational responsiveness, strategic alignment, or innovative contributions. Drawing on established knowledge in the field of industrial psychology we work with the client to identify the ‘chain’ that links the behaviours of the coach, to the attitudes and behaviours of their direct reports.

This chain connects the actions of the coach manager to the creation of value for the organization, through the empowered, committed and energized contributions of the coach manager’s direct reports. Using the most up-to-date approaches for estimating the monetary value of a broad range of employee behaviours and organizational outcomes, we connect the investment made in the developing coaching skills to value creation in the organization.

By implementing our coaching evaluation tool, organizations can obtain a monetary ROI figure for one-to-one coaching or coach-training programmes.

“Measuring the financial impacts justifies future investment. Once you can demonstrate the tangible impacts to a sceptical Finance Director, it’s a different ball-game.”
Alan Barton, Director, Arup
