CC Pace Proprietary Copyright © 2015 Slide No. 7 Does it help to be explicit? Consulting provides Kanban expertise and informs clients on how they can solve problems. Depending on engagement nature, advice given may or may not be taken on board. Training teaches the science to develop Kanban skills, thinking and capabilities; the what and how of an action. It often involves the passing of advice and knowledge from a person who has been in similar situations, in similar contexts, in other organizations. Mentoring is an unequal relationship from a more experienced Kanban practitioner to one less experienced within the same organization. Coaching enables long-term change as it allows clients to be reflective and take personal responsibility for their role in the organization from a Kanban perspective. It helps coachees to discover their innate drive and purpose. It does not involve any form of advice-giving. A coach helps clients become aware of their behaviors and to take positive action in their needed areas of growth.
