SHARED FROM:
John O. Burdett, TO COACH, OR NOT TO COACH - THAT IS THE QUESTION! PART 1; Industrial and Commercial Training, Vol. 23 No. 5, 1991, pp. 10-16

Changes that is happening in every aspect of organizational life:
  • Structures that were five or six tiers deep have been flattened
  • focus on customer satisfaction has made quality and responsiveness everybody's key task
  • The manager's power base has given way to collaborative and consensus power sharing with others in the organisation
  • Uncertainty has become a fact of life
  • Strategic planning has consequently given way to strategic scenarios
  • Building the capacity for fast response to changing circumstances has become a pivotal dimension of competitiveness
  • Competition has taken on a global face
  • organizations forming new alliances
  • Contracts are often won not on the basis of local price, quality and service, but on the ability of the firm to complement the global nature of the customer's business
  • Talent is more difficult to find but more difficult to keep
  • a need to build strong teams and meaningful customer relationships
  • Health and safety regulations expand
  • more to be achieved in far less time
