5. PROBLEM
• All parts of the process till “Development Plan Creation” were working
perfectly
• However the actual development of leaders was not at the speed that the
organization wanted.
• Development process
• Development Programs through top end business schools
• Internal Mentors
• Job Rotation
• Gaps
• Coaching / Mentoring
• Actual development process.

6. APPROACH
– While keeping the Job Rotation in place look at other alternatives for
Coaching and Development.
– Alternative Considered
Modified High End Business School Program
Lateral Thinking / 6 Sigma kind of approaches
Action Reflection Learning
Only Individual Mentoring
– Selected ARL
A classical example of Earning while Learning.
Allowed participants to work on strategic projects and at the
same time ensured that the company was able to see results as
part of the development process.
Develop internal coaches which would help in institutionalising
the process within the organisation.

7. STRAETGIC ELEMENTS
– How to make ARL feasible
– Management Buy In
– Module Design
– Project Selection
– Developing Internal coaches
Copyright © LIM LLC 2011
8. STRATEGY : Making ARL Feasible
– Impossible to run the program in India with the help of coaches
living abroad
– SOLUTION : Internal Coach Development Program
– Cost of US and Singapore based coaches and hence the overall cost of
the program
– Do we put everyone through the program
– SOLUTION : program will be run only for people with Managerial
responsibilities as the element on strategic thinking largely applied
to these roles

10. STRATEGY : Module Design
ARL modular - 3 modules.
Concepts, principles and tools of ARL were introduced, applied and
demonstrated, Just in Time, to make the learning process of the
participants more robust.
Module 1 - Leader in the Organisation and Strategic Thinking.
– projects were presented to the teams
Module 2 - Leader in Me and Delivering Business Results
Module 3 - Leader in the Team and Corporate Social Responsibility.
– presented the final recommendations for implementation
Between each module - gap of 8 to 10 weeks - teams to work on the
projects - help of the internal SKF Coaches
Competencies of Strategic Thinking and Delivering Business Results
were based on the data generated from the development centres.
