Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The traditional project coaching takes place mostly in a number of face-to-face coaching sessions. However, under conditions of time pressure in IT projects, a physical presence of coaches could form a bottleneck. These facts led to the idea of using Internet technologies to support the project coaching. The benefits of the web based project coaching reside in the ubiquitous availability of coaches. To enable the web coaching, a flexible support platform is required. The elaboration of requirements, design, implementation and evaluation of such a platform is the goal of this dissertation. The elaborated concept was applied and evaluated in real IT projects. The numerous findings and implications could be gained on the empirical basis.

Download or read book The Digital Coach written by Stella Kanatouri and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-03-13 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thanks to digital media, coaching doesn ́t have to be constrained by geographical and temporal boundaries. Using digital media to facilitate coaching processes however, creates a distinct form of coaching practice that requires additional skill from the coach. The Digital Coach contains insights based on a comprehensive, exploratory research that analysed the discussions of a 1,000 member strong online community of coaches and several interviews with coaches to understand their practical experiences of working with technology. At the same time, the book offers information, insights, and examples that can be readily used by the coaching practitioner. Based on the developments in the field, the book provides suggestions about improving the usability of coaching software, and it offers reflections on how emerging technologies like immersive Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, and Artificial Intelligence might extend coaching practice. Whilst acknowledging the limitations and potential risks that may arise by integrating digital media in coaching, the book suggests that coaching success doesn’t only depend on media capabilities, but also on the coach. The digital coach develops enhanced coaching skills and adapts coaching practice to the media in use. The book is dedicated to the coaching practitioner who uses digital media or who is considering doing so, and is relevant for coaching supervisors, buyers of coaching services, human resource professionals, and software designers.

Download or read book Building Leadership in Project and Network Management written by Hans-Werner Franz and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-08-14 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 1 1. 1 The book The book in your hand is not a scientific book, although it is based just as much on science as on my own experience in consultancy and management. As its title suggests, we want to build a bridge between the leadership that is typical of facilitation techniques and that of pr- ect and network management. Therefore this book does more than p- vide you with insights into the mainly methodical Messages we want to transmit. It will also make suggestions for how to train facilitators, and in the centre of the book you will find a wealth of 40 carefully selected and reality-proof Tools, many of which have never been pre- ously published in English, and in some case have never been published at all. With all of these you will find a presentation of our way of using them. Our sole objective is to offer our views and experience in impr- ing communication for effective co-operation, i. e. we want people who collaborate in some way to find and decide on the best courses of action, then share and implement these decisions better. We want to promote learning by doing, just as well as doing by learning. So this book is for people who in some way are responsible for s- cessful co-operation in projects, in and across organisations or networks of organisations. Action Learning has many fathers (but few mothers) and roots.

Download or read book Studies on the educational quality of schools written by Manfred Prenzel and published by Waxmann Verlag. This book was released on with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The priority program 'The educational quality of schools' has been established seven years ago by the German Research Foundation (DFG). The projects in this program investigated conditions inside and outside of school and their impact on the development of mathematical, scientific, and cross-curricular competencies. In this book major findings of the program are presented. The projects not only give an overview of their research questioning methods and findings, but also of approaches and materials that have been developed to support learning and teaching in mathematics and science class rooms. The studies reported here identify factors for weaknesses in the educational outcomes that became apparent in the international comparisons like TIMSS and PISA. The projects, however, provide empirically substantiated units on approaches that can help to improve the educational quality of schools. [Publisher, ed].

Download or read book Social Awareness and Leader Influence written by Rose A. Mueller-Hanson and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research entailed developing and testing a detailed program of instruction to help Army leaders improve their social awareness and influence skills. Based on input from Soldier subject matter experts and the behavioral sciences literature, two training programs were developed: a six-hour classroom course and a parallel web-based course. Additionally, four assessments were created: a Social Awareness and Influence Skills Self-assessment to assess self-perceptions of skills, a knowledge test to assess learning in the course, a situational judgment test (SJT) to assess the students? ability to apply social insight and judgment to interpersonal situations, and a web-based role-play to assess the students? ability to apply influence tactics. These courses and assessments were then subsequently tested in two pilot samples. Results of the participant reactions questionnaire indicated that the training programs in both the classroom and web-based formats were well received by the target audience and that participants gained new knowledge as a result of the course. Results also indicated promise for the measures piloted in this project. The outcomes of this effort include a fully developed classroom-based POI and a companion prototype web-based POI that are suitable for first-line Army leaders (E4 to E6 and O1 to O3).
