Eugen Spivak & Associates

Business coaching from strategy to execution

This practice coaches executives and business managers across the whole of strategy, from setting a plan to carrying it through. The site says that two out of three companies fail in strategy execution, and the practice's coaching is built around avoiding that outcome.

The coaching is aimed at leaders who face business issues they may not have seen before. The practice says it helps clients address those issues and build the judgment needed to handle similar situations in the future. It also says it brings fresh and unbiased perspectives, and helps clients choose strategies, techniques and tools that reach their objectives most efficiently.

One-to-one executive coaching

Executive coaching is one-to-one work with leaders. The site says that personal and business matters are closely linked, because a personal bias can hide the consequences of a business decision, and because one decision can affect dozens, hundreds or thousands of staff. The coaching therefore covers the whole range of improvement, from personal habits to business results.

The first step is a complimentary diagnostic session. In that session the coach finds out what the problems are, discusses whether the practice can help with them, and agrees the timeframe for a resolution and the next steps.

Strategic planning

Strategic planning helps a business choose the strategies, techniques and tools needed to reach a clear objective. The practice presents this as the planning end of its work, which then runs into execution.

Program and portfolio management

The practice offers project management office services, portfolio management and program management. These services cover the organization of a business's projects and programs.

Marketing consulting

Marketing consulting covers marketing strategy and digital marketing. The site lists digital marketing and marketing strategy among the areas that have brought the best results for its coaching clients.

Roles and resources

The practice works in three roles: executive coach, program manager and IT consultant. Its free resources include a business blog, a business podcast, calculators and tools, case studies and business videos. The site also offers business courses, business publications and a book written by the strategist behind the practice.
