Each mentoring begins with a diagnosis of the current condition. Through a structured and in-depth conversation, the mentor and team get to know each other.
The mentor makes sure that they understands both the business model and the long-term goal of the team, while also getting to know them on a personal level.
The team then, together with the mentor, develops a work schedule that sets out concrete and measurable goals to be followed during the mentoring period. This helps both the mentor who directs the team towards the goal as well as the team, as it makes it easier to organize their work according to this plan.
The team meets with the mentor at regular meetings, which are either weekly or monthly, according to the agreement. Each meeting is structured and includes a presentation of the progress from the last meeting and an agreement to work towards the future. The mentor assists the team with advice and suggestions throughout this process.
In the context of regular meetings, the mentor, at his own discretion, assists the team with various expert advice or helps them get in touch with potential partners, investors or other mentors. To this end, the mentor may also assign specific tasks to the team. At the end of the mentoring period, the mentor performs an evaluation with the team, which also includes the establishment of a strategic work plan for the future.
