Suitable year level:

3rd-5th year

Project Description

Swinburne is designing a web based system that will evaluate coaching performance in organizations worldwide. Executive Coaching could be defined as a process in which the coach develop certain characteristics of the executive. Up until now there has been now standardised way to measure whether the coach is effective in helping the executive and whether and if so how the executive develops over the coaching sessions. The R & D team will need to liaise with the planning team (Prof Stough and two Executive Coaches Mark Owens and Doug MacKie) as well as a group if IT students who are developing the IT/Web interface. The work will involve testing the platform, liaising with coached and executives to test the system and to collect and analyse data.

Expectations/Assessment

Pre-requisite Knowledge

Nil, training will be given, however a knowledge of Web based platforms would be useful.
