Course overview

The future of executive coaching will demand coaches to have at least the same level of systemic thinking as their clients — and ideally a greater level. The value coaches add is already increasingly seen as lying in helping clients understand and influence the systems, in which they operate. Yet most coach education and practice is at a relatively simple level of systems complexity.  Even “systemic team coaching” is often basically about multiple linear relationships with stakeholders, when the issues clients face are rooted in complex adaptative systems that often involve connections between stakeholders. We now identify 10 levels of complexity in coaching. Each successive level adds greater value to clients, but requires greater systemic expertise from coaches.

This unique approach brings together coaches in supervision groups of up to eight, providing a safe space to experiment with client systems and co-learn from colleagues through detailed analysis of cases group members bring. One of the intended outcomes of the groups is to enable coaches to feel more confident in working at increasing levels of systems complexity.

The programme supervisor is Prof David Clutterbuck, one of the earliest pioneers of modern coaching and mentoring. David’s research and practice with global corporations is the leading edge of coaching in complex environments.
