E-ORGANIZER AS THE MODERN DEDICATED

COACHING TOOL SUPPORTING KNOWLEDGE

DIFFUSION IN THE BEAUTY SERVICES SECTOR

Abstract: The article objective is to present dedicated coaching, as the tool for knowledge ca-talysis, aimed at knowledge diffusion acceleration in customer service, as well as demonstrate an exceptional tool in the form of an electronic device called e-organizer. The article dis-cusses dedicated coaching concept and functional attributes of a tool accelerating knowledge diffusion in a customer service process (by means of coaching idea implementation), using

e-organizer, its application models and implementation opportunities in a beauty parlour

func-tioning. In order to illustrate its practical application, the beauty services sector was selected, since at present it is one of the fastest developing sectors in Polish economy. Challenges of this particularly competitive market impose on beauty parlour managers the need to search for new solutions resulting in an increase of customers’ interest in their offer.

Keywords: dedicated coaching, beauty services sector, beauty parlour, e-organizer.

1. Introduction

Recently an intensive development has been observed in the domain of coaching, which results both from changes inside an organization and in its environment. These transformations are mainly focused on searching for new strategies in order to im-prove competitiveness. One of them is the implementation of coaching to business practice. In professional literature coaching is referred to as the process allowing for knowledge acquisition and development and therefore supporting the improvement of one’s skills [Parsloe, Wray 2002, p. 48]. The International Coaching Federation (ICF), on the other hand, refers to it as an interactive process which assists indivi-duals or organizations in development rate acceleration and performance results im-provement and therefore takes into account economic results of its implementation.

E-organizer as the modern dedicated coaching tool 153

S. Thorpe and J. Cliffort perceive coaching in a different way and claim that the term should be understood as assistance offered to an individual in order to strengthen and improve one’s functioning by analyzing the way of particular skill or knowledge ap-plication [Thorpe, Clifford 2004, p. 17]. The perception and apap-plication of coaching is subject to certain transformations, among which the following may be listed: new approaches to coaching application, e.g. generative coaching presented by R. Dilts and S. Gilligan (based on ideas of quantum world and symbols) and also related to philosophy which results in progressing from a psychotherapy oriented type of coaching towards forms in an integrated perspective.

In all spheres of social, economic, cultural and political life there occurs an ur-gent need of reorientation, from traditional sales of products and services towards supplying clients with tacit knowledge which solves their substantial problems (de-dicated coaching – Figure 1).

Figure 1. Transfer of company values chains

In traditional hairdresser’s saloons (especially at the barber’s) we were expe-riencing a very popular product, interestingly used in literature, of a highly visual name: “trimming – saving” (classical value chain).

At present beauty parlours for women generate the whole series of frequently unusual services (Table 1):

correcting and improving the beauty, –

health (health oriented cosmetics), –

fun and entertainment

(enjoying oneself over coffee or a drink in an elegant atmosphere),

reduction of fear and loneliness

(solving existential problems), new social contacts (solving psychosocial problems),

discussing family and personal problems, –

(8)

154 Kazimierz Perechuda, Elżbieta Nawrocka, Wojciech Idzikowski

analyzing professional problems and other. –

The above problems may be solved by means of providing permanent education for clients of beauty parlours (knowledge education). Such education should be of the following nature:

spiral (problem → new knowledge → problem solving → new problem → high-–

er level knowledge → new problem solving, etc.), interactive (client – beautician – client – beautician, etc.), –

continuous. –

E-organizer serves the above goals since it provides total (24 hours) care over a client focused on on-line solving his/her problems referring to beauty matters, health, wellbeing, existence, personal or professional issues.

In times of an overall crisis in inter-human relations, alienation, growing un-employment, people suffering from excessive debts and economic crisis there is a dynamically increasing demand for personalized consultancy and not necessarily a psychological one. Therefore, the roles played by a modern beautician have to be-come significantly extended (Figure 2).

Legend: K – beautician, L – physician, P – psychotherapist, DZ – professional advisor, S – sociologist, T – coach, Sp – confessor.

Figure 2. New roles of a beautician

The roles listed above, to be performed by a beautician, require generating the whole range of new processes, which include as follows:

(9)

E-organizer as the modern dedicated coaching tool 155

beauty improvement, –

treatment by health oriented cosmetics, –

direct and indirect communication (e-organizer), –

entertainment and fun, –

education and others. –

All these processes cannot be performed during one 3-hour session spent once a week in a beauty parlour.

E-organized, discussed in the hereby article, constitutes an excellent tool for an overall and permanent client service, indispensable for a beauty parlour functioning, based on dedicated coaching and focused on solving the above problems which may occur while working with a client. The details are presented in Table 1.

2. Methodological assumptions

The article objective is to present dedicated coaching as the tool for knowledge catalysis, aimed at knowledge diffusion acceleration in performing beauty parlour clients service, as well as a specific tool in the form of an electronic product called

e-organizer. The sector of beauty oriented services represents the research area.

Beauty parlours represent research objects.

The main research problem is focused on searching for a modern IT tool fa-cilitating the elimination of disproportions between overabundant tacit knowledge of cosmetics producers and well educated beauticians and the minimal (most often coming from newspapers) knowledge represented by beauty parlour clients.

H1: Beauty parlours in Poland are only to a minor extent saturated by modern IT tools.

H2: Personal or phone communication dominates in beauty parlours.

H3: E-organizer constitutes a modern tool of dedicated coaching which facili-tates long-term and structuralized problem solving of beauty parlour clients.

The article is the result of business processes modelling in a company by means of IT technologies implementation. A beauty parlour was used for practical presenta-tion since the challenges, typical for this especially competitive market of entities, impose on their managers searching for new solutions related to increasing clients’ interest in their offer. Virtual space offers, in this respect, large opportunities for finding new and effective methods useful in reaching a client. In order to prepare an

e-organizer functionality study a survey was conducted in the group of 200

ran-domly selected respondents.

3. The concept of dedicated coaching in business

based on the example of a beauty parlour

The discussed dedicated coaching takes advantage of the media in contacts with clients, which is a certain novelty as compared to the traditionally understood coach-ing, since the latter used mainly personal contacts as the tool for competencies deve-lopment. It still does happen today that many coaches cannot imagine performing a session without personal contact. However, the analysis of coaching companies’ of-fers indicates a trend, in this metrology development, towards electronic tools imple-mentation. It mainly refers to using such tools as a phone, Skype on-line communi-cator, e-mails and other web focused ones. For example, in the USA 40% coaching is performed “by phone”. The hereby article discusses coaching implementing on-line media which take advantage of knowledge output in the domain of coaching and CRM. The main aim of dedicated coaching in business is meeting clients’ needs and increasing sales profits by means of prolonging relations with clients (lengthening the, so called, client’s life cycle for a company). Therefore, the following clients’ reactions are taken into consideration:

on-line reading of beauty treatment and cosmetics oriented advice, –

visiting an on-line shop which offers beauty products up-selling, –

visiting a given beauty parlour web site. –

Dedicated coaching, as the tool of knowledge catalysis, is used for passing on knowledge in a way which facilitates the effect of knowledge transfer acceleration from a sending entity (beauty parlour) to a recipient (client) and therefore an overall process may take a more effective form. Dedicated coaching, focused on a company client, is mainly directed towards the following objectives:

solving particular problem defi ned by a client, –

making a certain activity easier, –

(11)

E-organizer as the modern dedicated coaching tool 157

facilitating the performance of a certain task, –

saving client’s time. –

On the other hand, it helps the company to enhance client service process, as well as information circulation and, as the result, improve client’s satisfaction and sales, information circulation and its internal coordination, eliminate the loss of some in-formation and extend the knowledge about client’s needs.

The implementation of dedicated coaching results in certain threats of social, technical, financial or organizational nature, but mainly associated with:

the need to participate in trainings, communication problems, changing the way –

of client perception,

integration problems with existing systems and data bases, as well as other tech-–

nical complications, e.g. equipment platform,

data safety (information protection, Personal Data Protection Act), –

implementation costs and the problem of investments – profi ts ratio, –

organizational threats resulting from the need of transforming business processes –

and changing from old into new systems.

It has to be emphasized, however, that coaching instruments may weaken the intensity and narrow down the scale of unfavourable phenomena related to dedicated coaching implementation in its CRM sphere by diagnosing motives and recogniz-ing attitudes, among others, due to usrecogniz-ing metaphors, stage performances, games and simulations.

4. General description of an e-organizer tool

1

E-organizer functionalities are related to the main idea of dedicated coaching which

concentrated on “customer life cycle” prolongation. This facilitates the subsequent process of up-selling, i.e. selling more services and products later. Dedicated coach-ing is composed of three basic modules: preparcoach-ing content and the list of subscribers, followed by providing this content during a complex service process, which alto-gether are carried out by an e-organizer implementation. The discussed tool attributes present the reaction to the needs recognized on the basis of a survey carried out at the turn of 2009 and 2010 in the group of 200 randomly selected respondents.

One of the purposes underlying an e-organizer construction is to provide the in-dispensable knowledge and systematize it adequately. E-service is a step forward in creating valuable knowledge about opportunities in competencies development for individual recipients. Owing to this tool, its user is not imposed to search for such information – it is sent to him/her by an e-mail including valuable pieces of advice or consultancy. The process covers – not just sales and offer presentation, but the selection of suitable development opportunities for the course participants willing

worth about 1 million PLN and financed by the European Union from POIG – Działanie 8.1 [Operation Programme Innovative Economy – Operation 8.1].

E-organizer as the modern dedicated coaching tool 159

to learn more about a specific topic. An e-organizer was designed in the way to cre-ate an image of an expert (the survey indiccre-ated it as the main factor influencing the choice of such offer) and only later the possibility of purchasing a knowledge-based product was presented – again based on adequate selection rather than just sales. An expert who uses e-organizer will have the possibility of sending, free form charge, consultancy resulting from his/her expertise and therefore indicate, to a course par-ticipant, further opportunities for his/her development. E-organizer also allows for sending due advice (lessons, e-books) in properly adjusted time intervals adequate for a given learning process and identified in the survey. Owing to the above pre-sented attributes, it is possible to coordinate knowledge acquisition process and its more effective and sustainable progress. E-organizer also represents an e-service which facilitates creating “lines of e-mails”, i.e. specially designed messages sent to recipients in adequate time intervals. The system capacity covers three participants (Figure 3): Administrator, – Guest, – Trainer. –

E-organizer is an electronic product which functions in a totally automatized

way without any interference from the system authors. Figure 3 characterizes par-ticular functionalities divided into these of an administrator, guest and trainer. The detailed description of software and functionalities is described below:

160 Kazimierz Perechuda, Elżbieta Nawrocka, Wojciech Idzikowski

A trainer may prepare the line of e-mails him/herself and decide who they should be sent to (data base is created individually). Such line may take the form of a sent out consultancy – lessons as the result of which the recipient acquires knowledge in a linear way, based on the previously designed process. This form of knowledge dif-fusion enriches every single information transfer making the process more interest-ing and effective. An administrator prepares lines of e-mails sent out to all trainers, which take the form of e-learning sequences, lists of advice which an individual trainer purchases together with a product.

5. E-organizer application models

E-organizer, as the knowledge diffusion tool, may be applied in numerous business

domains among which there are e.g.: corporate university or e-learning in customer service. Below there are presented short descriptions of the discussed models.

Corporate university. It represents a particular form of

1. e-organizer

applica-tion in the form of internal trainings process – dedicated for one company. A trainer designs a spectrum of in-company trainings presented in a process related to the time of participants’ development. It is also extended by the possibility of sending e-mails to them in due time intervals and provoking them to acquire knowledge in proper time span. The line of e-mails designed in such way constitutes the tool which sup-ports knowledge diffusion and owing to which the designed education cycle allows for better knowledge absorption.

E-learning.

2. E-organizer application for the purposes of e-learning in the

pro-cess of customer service is related to preparing the line of e-mails which contain short “invitations” to take advantage of advice presented at a web page. Such advice may also be sent directly as the content of an e-mail message. E-organizer, by offe-ring additional possibility to design text messages is ahead of products sold under the name of auto-respondents (ImpleBot, FUMP).

6. E-organizer practical presentation in a beauty parlour

(cosmetic e-diary)

An electronic specification of COSMETIC E-DIARY service is presented below.

Cosmetic e-lessons function within the framework of a beauty treatment e-diary.

These are specially prepared e-learning lessons – lines of e-mails offering advice to clients of beauty parlours. In such a case a beautician, who is the system user, takes the role of her client’s trainer and by taking care of the designed pieces of advice

(16)

162 Kazimierz Perechuda, Elżbieta Nawrocka, Wojciech Idzikowski

conveys the vision of becoming beautiful for women and men. In this way an indis-pensable knowledge about multiplying the quality of the service provided before is also delivered and the beautician creates the image of an expert. In this aspect it is the beautician who designs the process of knowledge diffusion all by herself.

7. Final remarks

E-organizer prepared in the above way carries out the functions of dedicated

coach-ing which is delivered to a beauty parlour client after performcoach-ing the due treatment and is made up of the formerly prepared sequence of advice – lessons sent out in the adequately planned time intervals. The advice refers to properly performed body care after the finished treatment alternated with sending out follow-up reminders about the next beauty treatment accompanied by a product range offer. Such tool implementation results in the fact that coaching in a beauty parlour becomes a didac-tic, training process focused on establishing and improving client’s skills in the do-main of cosmetology. It is the system based on partnership between a beautician and her client.

The discussed tool offers significant advantages for a company after its imple-mentation. Among major ones the following may be listed: low cost of communica-tion with a client; support for keeping up relacommunica-tions with clients and brand construc-tion; reliable communication system; knowledge exchange between staff and clients; better adjustment of an offer to clients’ needs; increased efficiency and cohesion of activities in customer service.

The presented above concept reflects trends in coaching development under-stood as the set of tools indispensable for the course participants - clients in this case, competencies development, which facilitates knowledge diffusion. As a result, it becomes a valuable tool for introducing changes in organizations and strengthening their competitiveness.
