ActionCOACH launches world first online business coaching platform

Announcement posted by The Mail Room 03 Dec 2019

ActionCOACH, the world’s largest business coaching firm and recently ranked amongst the Most Innovative Franchise Brands of 2019 by FranchiseBusinessREVIEW, has introduced another innovation, the ActionCOACH online coaching portal. This platform provides business owners unprecedented, daily insights into their companies’ performance, allowing them to plan and act like never before.

The new online coaching portal is designed to allow business owners set goals, track performance, identify trends and see their growth while elevating contact and communication with their ActionCOACH. From the dashboard, business owners have full visibility into daily tasks, immediate and long term goals, and business growth in alignment with their five year plans. The portal also provides a platform for continuous learning, with access to coaching seminars and video tutorials.

“Using the portal, our clients can quite literally see their business goals coming to life. Our clients are able to set goals, monitor trends and performance in alignment with these goals, and stay in constant contact with their ActionCOACH.
It is widely accepted that tabulating your goals is the first step towards staying focused and achieving them. When you are focused on what you are doing, know where to direct your energy, and can see your progress, you are more likely to achieve what you have set out to do. The online coaching portal was designed to help clients remain clearly focused on their goals and stay on track,” says Paul Henshall ActionCOACH CEO of Australia and New Zealand.

The online coaching portal is user friendly and intuitive. The homepage is the dashboard of the business from where owners can see the growth and trends in their business, as well as their company’s vision, mission and culture. From the dashboard, business owners can also connect directly with their ActionCOACH, upload weekly coaching focus sheets and other documents. 

The sections in “Coaching” are categorized by ActionCOACH’s well recognised Dreams, Goals, Learn, Plan, Act (DGLPA) Formula. Under the Dreams tab, business owners can enter their vision, mission, dreams and bucket list items, while under the Goals tab, they can set immediate, short term and long term goals and track the alignment of these with their five year plan.

Within the Plan section, company owners can set daily tasks and plans for their teams, in alignment with their 30 days, 90 days, 12 months, and longer term goals.  Under the Learning tab, clients have access to an array of learning materials and videos on an array of business topics, as well as learning instructions from their ActionCOACH.  The Reporting section has features to allow business owners report on their weekly coaching focus sheets, 5 Ways Numbers, and performance in terms of their DGLPA formula.

Business owners can also access news from their coaches and from ActionCOACH worldwide, as well as register for upcoming events from their homepage.
According to Paul, the online coaching portal is only phase one of a massive five phase project and does not serve to replace one-on-one coaching sessions or the ability of clients to pick up the phone to the ActionCOACH. It serves to enhance interaction between coaches and clients while bring goal setting and management to business owners’ fingertips in a highly visual way.

“The portal complements existing caching services to our clients and gives them real time access to meaningful intelligence on the performance of their businesses. Similar to popular exercise tracking platforms such as Strava, our portal allows our clients to set tasks and goals, engage with their coaches and other members, track their progress in alignment with their goals, and get daily insights into business performance. Our portal is the first of its kind in the business coaching world and we are excited and proud to bring this innovation to our clients.”

From a coach’s perspective, ActionCOACH Mark Daniels says: “World class companies have world class IT platforms. If we want to be the best and offer our clients the best in terms of tools, accessibility and usability, we must move with and leverage IT. The new online portal brings everything together and gives clients, coaches and their support teams the structure to optimise their coaching programs.”

Terry Hughes, who has been associated with ActionCOACH for over 15 years, says: “The new portal is a great platform which pulls everything together in a simple, user-friendly way. It gives structure and access to information in one place. Certainly this platform differentiates ActionCOACH from other business coaching companies.”
