Corporate cross-mentoring
Its published cross-mentoring model is a structured twelve-month process including:
- initial briefings for mentees and mentors to clarify goals,
- selection and matching of mentoring pairs,
- shared networking events,
- regular mentoring meetings in person, by phone or video,
- optional further development modules,
- individual coaching,
- ongoing evaluation and process support,
- a closing event and program evaluation.
The program is designed as cross-company mentoring: mentors and mentees come from different organizations, bringing external perspectives into talent and leadership development.
