CSAA's
Coaching Engagement Process
Marty Jordan, Senior OD Consultant, California State Automobile
Association
Based
on research by the Corporate Leadership Council, Marty has developed
a pragmatic approach to engaging and managing leadership coaches.
CSAA, like other companies, sees the value in using coaching to
embed new and/or change existing leadership behaviors in support
of their organizational culture. However, their current coaching
process is perceived to be too ad hoc in nature, lacking in accountability
and difficult to measure.
The new program's goals are to:
- Support
cultural transformation and align leadership behaviors.
- Improve
business performance.
- Accelerate
development of next generation leaders.
- Integrate
new senior hires.
Their
initiative is designed to:
- Ensure
coaching is business-driven.
- Standardize
coach recruitment and selection.
- Foster
senior line management involvement.
- Manage
and measure the coaching program to ensure ROI.
Marty
will describe the program in depth and share some of the tools CSAA
is putting in place.

SDMS
(Self-Directed Motivation System) for Management Training
Dawn Vanderloo, STEP Alumna formerly representing Apple and Hewlett
Packard
Management
training programs are critical to any business. The most common
method for corporate training delivery is the instructor-led workshop,
although eLearning is gaining ground. Unfortunately, transfer of
training remains a challenge for both methodologies. Enter SDMS.
SDMS
is a telecoach-based management training delivery method. It takes
what is often knowledge-based content, and makes it skill-based.
It's assessment allows coaches to tailor each coaching program for
each client. It ensures that clients achieve skill transfer in four
one-hour sessions. And in studies conducted by Linda Pfeifer - the
method's author - SDMS shows cost savings when compared to leader-led
delivery of the same content.

Emerging
trends: e-Discovery and the case for proactive content management
Paul Wlodarczyk, STEP Alumnus formerly representing Xerox
As
the volume of unstructured content within enterprises continues
to grow at an annual rate of 60-200%, organizations must rethink
their approaches to enterprise content management. As the sea of
content swells, it becomes difficult to locate business-critical
documents. In particular, electronic discovery is emerging as a
best practice for discovery of regulated content (e.g. HR policies
and procedures; environmental health and safety documents), and
for litigation support and pre-trial discovery of documents in highly
litigious industries (tobacco, automotive).
Electronic
discovery is traditionally performed by retroactively categorizing
and classifying existing content with enterprise index and search
tools like Autonomy. This approach is less successful as the volume
of content continues to grow. An emerging best practice is to proactively
classify content. This means that content is indexed and catalogued
when it is created, not when it needs to be discovered.
This
webcast will discuss the trends driving the need for e-Discovery,
and what steps organizations can take in terms of people, process,
policy, and technology to move forward on supporting e-Discovery.
Technologies include content classification technologies, structured
authoring, and enterprise content management.
