Need to Create a Service AgreementTo define & clarify scope of
serviceTo establish mutual
expectationsTo determine initial length of
engagement To provide a mechanism for
service review
And perhaps most importantly….
To set the overall tone of the coach-leader-practice
relationship

Use & ResultsRolled out in early spring
2011Currently using with 6 of
the 16 practices we are actively coaching
Coaches find it very helpful, particularly in the initial discussion
Leaders like the clarity and the list of services “helps us to focus on what you can do vs. what you can’t do for us”

Next Steps
Continue to solicit feedback from practices
Revisit contract vs. agreement
Consider adding to list of services
Consider adding specific component to ensure leader/coach meetings
