Offer Coaching Services as Valuable Add-On to the FranklinCovey All
Access Pass
SALT LAKE CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 18, 2017--
Franklin
Covey Co. (NYSE:
FC), a global firm specializing in organizational performance
improvement, announced today that it has acquired Robert
Gregory Partners, an executive coaching firm based in Dublin, Ohio,
with offices in New York and Los Angeles, to provide add-on coaching
services for FranklinCovey
content and solutions delivered through the FranklinCovey
All Access Pass™. The acquisition was finalized on May 15, 2017.
FranklinCovey’s All Access Pass provides unlimited access to
FranklinCovey’s entire collection of best-in-class content. The Pass
creates the ability to assemble, integrate, and deliver that content
through an almost limitless combination of delivery modalities: live,
live-online, on demand, and the integration of content into existing
customer training offerings. The Pass has a cost-per-population trained
which is less than or equal to that provided by single content/single
modality providers. It will soon be globally accessible in 16 major
languages through a state-of-the-art, secure, easy-to-use portal.
The Pass includes the services of Implementation Specialists, experts in
FranklinCovey content, to ensure client success. The pass also includes
access to an array of affordable add-on services, including these newly
acquired coaching services, to ensure customers execute on their key
jobs-to-be-done. For more information on the FranklinCovey All Access
Pass, please visit https://www.franklincovey.com/engage-with-us/all-access-pass.html.

Whitman, CEO, FranklinCovey. “In addition to the best-in-class

FranklinCovey will focus specifically on offering its clients the
following services based on Robert
Gregory Partners’ capabilities:
Learning Program Support Coaching
The company will provide coaching services to support clients in their
implementation of the content included in the All Access Pass. This
short-duration coaching is designed to significantly enhance and
accelerate candidate development within a client’s development program.
Research shows that adding coaching into a learning program increases
retention of the learning and increases the application of that learning
for long-term, positive behavior change.
Executive Coaching
The company will also provide one-on-one coaching for directors and
C-suite executives, using a proprietary methodology and process, which
combined with FranklinCovey content, can enable high-performing
executives to take advantage of opportunities or overcome tough
challenges, such as:
-
Executives who seek to boost their professional and personal growth
through an aggressive, results-oriented program
-
Executives who are preparing for a critical succession move or who
have recently moved into a key, new role
-
Executives with a leadership style or approach that is not producing
desired results
Robert Gregory Partners will also continue to offer other services,
including leadership development consulting, cohort coaching, and
transition acceleration coaching and consulting.
