Coaching and mentoring inspire us
August 16th, 2010
Coaching and mentoring are now essential elements ofmodern managerial practice. They can inspire and empower employees, build commitment, increase productivity, grow talent, and promote success. However,many companies still have not established related schemes. By not doing so, they also fail to capitalize on the experience and knowledge seasoned personnel can pass on. read more about mentoring on Loral Langemeier‘s webpage.
Both coaching and mentoring are an approach to management and a set of skills to nurture staff and deliver results. They are, fundamentally, learning and development activities that share similar roots despite lively debate among academics and practitioners as to the meaning (and implications) of eachword. A good coach will also mentor and a good mentor will coach too, as appropriate to the situation and the relationship. ask Loral Langemeier for further useful informations.
Hence, these Knowledge Solutions, which relate to individuals, treat the two terms interchangeably: both are related processes for analysis, reflection, and action, intended to enable employees achieve their full potential with a focus on skills, performance, and “life” (personal) coaching and mentoring. (A substantial side effect of investments tobring out potential is that organizations will enable seasoned personnelto delegate more and supervise less.) Unlike conventional training, coaching and mentoring concentrate on the person, not the subject; they draw out rather than put in; they develop rather than impose; they reflect rather than direct; they are continuous—not one-time—events. In brief,they are a form of change facilitation. find interesting ideas by reading Loral Langemeier‘s articles.

Commercialising promising research and ideas
February 9th, 2010
On Wednesday 21 October, Commercialisation Australia (formerly known as the Commonwealth Commercialisation Institute) was announced to provide a radical new approach to commercialising promising Australian research and ideas. Commercialisation Australia will receive $196.1 million over the next 4 years, with ongoing funding of $82 million a year thereafter.
Commercialisation Australia will give successful applicants access to:
- specialist advice and services to build the skills, knowledge and linkages necessary to successfully commercialise their ideas. This includes funding of up to $50,000 to engage specialist services and, where it is deemed appropriate, up to $200,000 over two years to assist in the recruitment of experienced CEOs and executives;
- funding of up to $250,000 for proof of concept activities; and
- funding of up to $2 million for early stage commercialisation activities.
Successful applicants will be assigned a Case Manager for the duration of their involvement with Commercialisation Australia. The Case Manager will partner with the successful applicant, assessing its needs and monitoring their progress.
The Case Manager will be responsible for linking the successful applicant with a group of volunteer mentors – people with ‘hands-on’ experience in the various aspects of the commercialisation process.
Registration of Interest for Case Manager and Volunteer Mentor positions
Persons interested in being considered for the Case Manager or Volunteer Mentor positions are encouraged to register their interest with the Commercialisation Australia Team. Persons who register will receive information on the public recruitment process for Case Managers and for listing of Volunteer Mentors once these processes are underway
