By the end of 2005, the IJCO will
have. . .
- Become the standard in the industry and the premier place to
be published.
- Played a major role in defining the field of professional coaching
in organizations. While other organizations similarly committed
to the advancement of professional coaching practices will play
a key role in defining the field, the IJCO will be at the center
of dialog and the primary forum in which they define the field,
debate elements of professional practice, and refine concepts.
- Helped set the boundaries of coaching. As a forum for professional
practitioners, the IJCO will help professionals in all human service
fields distinguish professional coaching that occurs in organizations
from personal coaching, professional consulting, psychotherapy,
spiritual direction, education, training, and other kinds of interventions.
- Helped leading practitioners, organizations, and associations
set standards and practices. The IJCO will be recognized as a
place for the vigorous debate of ethics, reflective practice,
goals, and the relationship between organizational coaching and
other human systems interventions.
- Helped lead an ongoing worldwide conversation about the direction
of professional coaching in organizations: where it has been,
where it is, where it is going, how it is developing in various
sectors of global society, and what promises and pitfalls have
been born of this emerging profession.
- Correlated relevant research findings with current organizational
coaching theory and practice. The IJCO will encourage and publish
master and doctoral level research on coaching in organizations,
with an emphasis on coaching outcomes.
- Encouraged, coordinated, and supported grants for research and
for developing ways to apply organizational coaching strategies
to previously unexplored areas. The IJCO will publish exploratory
articles about untested areas of coaching in organizations.
- Explored the notion of measurable, concrete outcomes. The IJCO will lead discussion about organizational coaching outcomes and
help practitioners to focus on outcomes that, while rich, are
difficult to measure.
