Developing a mentoring culture costs very little… and yet offers great benefits.

However, most mentoring systems around are not sustainable: mentors or mentees “drop the ball” quickly. We know why and how to avoid such failure. One of our success-factors is that we gear mentors with selected coaching skills, which help them “drive for results” all the way to success.

We develop company-specific mentoring systems, effective in an Asian workplace, along 3 steps:

Step 1: Design your Mentoring system

• Mentors’ competencies description, suiting your Company’s Culture and challenges
• Key-success factors for sustainability of a mentoring culture in your Company
• System-draft and test

• Final system

Step 2: Implement the system

• Communication on the “mentoring culture”, to motivate all
• Mentors’ selection and training, with 80% role-play and focused on quick-wins
• Mentees’ selection (create perception of a “privilege”)

• System implementation (attention on discipline)

Step 3: Assess system-effectiveness and improve it

• Follow-up and measure effectiveness
• “Trouble-shooting” session with mentors
• System improvement and “mentors’ club” launch

Your mentoring system documentation will typically cover:

1. Introduction to Mentoring
2. Vocabulary & acronyms
3. Main goal for Company
4. Mentor’s competency description
5. Qualification process for Mentors
6. Qualification process for Mentees
7. Training of the Mentors (full course content)
8. Tools for mentoring (formal and informal)
9. Follow-up and evaluation of the Mentoring system
10. Appendices: forms, templates & processes, references
