Background

Follow-up Actions
• What?
• Who?

Target Condition / Measurable Objectives
• Diagram of desired state
• Measurable targets – how will we know that
the improvement has been successful?
• Diagram of current situation or process
• What about it is not ideal?
• Extent of the problem (metrics)
• Problem statement
• Context - why is this a problem?
Root Cause & Gap Analysis
• Graphical depiction of the most likely direct
(root) causes
• What measurable results did the solution
achieve (or will be measured to verify
effectiveness)?
• Who’s responsible for ongoing
measurement?
• Where else in the organization can this
solution be applied?
• How will the improved state be standardized
and communicated?

31. Types of Coaching
Owner’s Problem-Solving
Skill Level Focus During Session What to Ask / Do
Problem-solving is spot on. Coaching
Goal: “Thought
partners”
“How’s it going?”
“What’s working well?”
“What’s not?”
“What have you learned?”
“What’s been most
surprising?”
“What are you doing next?”
“Do you need any help?”
Problem-solving is off course
and needs correction.
Coaching & Mentoring
Goal: Get person back
on track
Probe using Socratic
questioning. Focus on one
or two areas of the A3.
Problem-solving is on track
so far, but owner’s having
difficulty taking next steps.
Coaching & Mentoring
Goal: Build confidence;
remove obstacles;
create an action plan
Use Socratic questioning to
help person realize his/her
strengths & grow
competencies; provide
mentoring for knowledge
transfer (e.g. specific tools).
