Coaching and Mentoring

Coaching and Mentoring

This year’s UFHRD 2024 conference theme of “HRD in a Digital Age” resonates strongly within the Coaching and Mentoring stream.

This stream focuses upon how coaching and mentoring may be delivered in the Digital Age and the challenges and opportunities the digitalisation of coaching and mentoring might manifest. This ranges from the possible democratisation of these human resource development interventions and their practice, to dealing with the digital divide and the furious pace of technological advances. This is particularly timely and important considering the shift to digital coaching in organisations that occurred during the Covid-19 pandemic (PWC, 2020). A myriad of terms is being used to refer to the digitalisation of coaching, such as e-coaching (Geißler, 2022; Ribbers and Waringa, 2015), digital coaching (Isaacson, 2021), online coaching and AI coaching (Clutterbuck, 2022). Digital coaching is an umbrella term for all technology-mediated tools and platforms used to support the coaching process, such as matching, management and administration, data analytics, tools for coaching conversations and robot coaches (Isaacson, 2021).

We hope that contributions to our stream will address some of the theoretical, empirical, and practical dilemmas of coaching and mentoring in the digital age and we welcome empirical, conceptual, and literature review-based contributions. Whether you are a master’s or doctoral student, a practitioner, a new career academic or an experienced professor, we look forward to receiving your abstract for our consideration. We warmly encourage submissions from a range of employment and national contexts. The following topic areas provide an idea of submissions that would be relevant to this stream:

• Creating clarity around the terminology of the digitalisation of coaching and mentoring
• The value of digital education, training and development in coaching and mentoring
• The effectiveness of digital coaching and mentoring tools and models across sectors and contexts
• The ethical challenges of digital and AI coaching and mentoring
• Widening access to coaching and mentoring through digital tools and platforms
• Handing over coaching and mentoring to the technology developers – promises and perils
• Digital leadership - managerial and workplace development
• Digital coaching and mentoring readiness
• The automation of coaching and mentoring using AI
• The impact of AI and digital practices on coaching and mentoring relationships
• The digital leader-coach
• Coaching the team/group digitally

Please note that this list is not exhaustive, and we would be delighted to answer any questions you may have about a possible submission to our stream.
