Coaching Loops within The ServiceNow KT Plugin
A transformational feature of the ServiceNow KT Plugin is that of Coaching Loops. The Coaching Loop is the execution of the KT Performance System model built into an electronic tool. It allows a coach to monitor data input quality in real time, and to provide feedback in real time to KT Clear Thinking process users while about their tasks. The essential distinction between after-event coaching and in-process coaching is that the outcome of the process is positively affected during the process by deploying a Coaching Loop.
Coaching Loops massively assist in the deployment of results-based skill development projects in IT support organizations. Normally, Coaching Loop support has to be built by the customer. Now, having it available before the project starts simply reduces time to ROI, increases integration and adoption rates, and reduces end user frustration.
