ZFactor Coaching Methodology

Zfactor is a coaching methodology that uses a customized map to provide a person with a graphic presentation of a situation or role they are actively engaged. The map is called a Zmap which is a xy graph where the x and y axes are vectors labeled to provide a perspective of a whole system depicted within the relationship between the aspects of performance and development. See the zmap below.

Performance and development are key factors within any operational situation involving a person or group of people where there are expectations, goals and objectives. There exists an ongoing balance between these two key factors. Traditionally these factors have been viewed separately and distinct. For example training is used as a development process to help someone develop knowledge or skills. This is done separate and away from performance. Likewise, when someone enters into a performance situation, the expectation is they already have some basic knowledge or skill that meets the performance requirements. With such rapid change and specializations over the past few decades, on the job training and development have become more the norm.
