Coach Matching Logic for Sustaining Training Effects
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing coaching systems face ineffectiveness due to the 'seminar effect,' where employees feel well-informed and motivated after training but fail to apply these skills in their day-to-day routines, leading to a decline in positive effects.
Innovation Solution
A scalable, flexible, and measurable matching logic is implemented to pair coaches with coachees based on expertise, immediate business needs, and coachee position requirements, facilitating a personal relationship that fosters sustainable learning and behavioral change.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional seminar-based training is provided to employees, then employees feel well-informed and motivated after training, but the positive effects decrease as employees return to their day-to-day routines
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a matching system that pairs coaches with coachees as an intermediary mechanism to sustain training effects. The coach acts as a mediator who provides ongoing support, feedback, and guidance in the coachee's日常工作 environment, preventing the decay of training effects that occurs when employees return to routine work without continued support.
Solution Approach 2:
The system establishes continuous coaching relationships where coaches provide ongoing support rather than one-time seminars. The matching logic enables sustained interaction between coach and coachee, ensuring that the useful action of skill transfer and behavioral change continues over time rather than stopping after the initial training event.
2Reliability
If a scalable coaching matching system is implemented, then the personal relationship between coach and coachee is enhanced, but the complexity of the matching logic increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system manages matching logic complexity by changing parameters in a structured way - using weighted scoring systems, predefined matching criteria, and configurable parameters that can be adjusted without fundamentally redesigning the system. This allows the complexity to be controlled through parameter adjustment rather than structural complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The matching system is designed as a universal platform that can handle multiple matching scenarios, coach profiles, and coachee requirements through a single integrated system. The core matching logic serves multiple functions - initial matching, ongoing pairing, and scalability across different organizations and coaching programs - reducing the need for separate complex systems for each scenario.

AI summary
A computer-implemented method proposes a coach fitting well to a coachee. The method includes maintaining a pool of coaches, each coach possessing established properties, prompting the coachee to make a selection of preferences with respect to the coach, such as a preferred mother tongue, education, training, certifications, experience, industry focus, or gender of the coach, and based upon the properties, matching, according to the selection, the coachee with the coaches from the pool. If one among the coaches fits the coachee, a profile of the fitting coach is presented to the coachee by means of an application such as a web or smartphone app.
