CoachMent
PEKERR ASSOCIATES’ UNIQUE APPROACH
TO LEARNING AND DEVELOPMENT
The Conventional Approach to learning and development – consisting typically of listening to lectures, working on case studies, role-playing and carrying out other kinds of exercises over a continuous period of one to perhaps twenty working days in a classroom setting – is popular but ineffective in internalizing learning, and transferring new knowledge, skills and attitude to the workplace. In recognition of these limitations of the conventional approach, Pekerr Associates in 1988 introduced a PROJECT-BASED APPROACH offering every participant a professional blend of personalized coaching and mentoring – thus CoachMent– with the following objective:
ASSISTING COURSE NOMINEES – BEFORE, DURING AND AFTER THE COURSE – TO DIAGNOSE THEIR WORKING ENVIRONMENT FOR SPECIFIC AREAS WHERE NEW LEARNING MAY BE BENEFICIALLY APPLIED, THROUGH THE USE OF COURSE-RELATED PROJECTS DESIGNED AROUND ACTUAL WORKPLACE PROBLEMS AND UNDERTAKEN WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF PEKERR ASSOCIATES’ CONSULTANTS AND WORKPLACE SUPERVISORS.
All nominations confirmed 3 or more weeks ahead of course dates benefit fully from our project-based approach consisting of:
- A course project starting three weeks before actual attendance
- Synergistic exercise during actual attendance
- Actionable course report and follow-up visits by Pekerr Associates Consultants after actual attendance
