Peak Performance Coaching at SCIRT
An integral enabler of SCIRT's capability and culture was the use of peak performance coaches.
SCIRT's first Peak Performance Plan identified a primary aim of "delivering high performance and resilience in an environment of uncertainty". To facilitate this, its secondary objective was to introduce New Zealand-based coaching to the civil construction industry.
Prior to SCIRT, there were no New Zealand-based executive-level coaches in existence who had alliance experience. SCIRT's aim was to change this situation.
Over five and a half years, SCIRT engaged more than eight coaching organisations in its peak performance activities. Key ones were (in alphabetical order): Alchimie, CareerBalance, Creative Spirit, Elevate Coaching, JMW, Leadership Lab, Moira Mallon Ltd, and Vital Futures. This is unusual in alliance coaching as usually one supplier provides all coaching throughout the project duration.
