How can you increase your company's revenue with 788%? The Coaching and Organisational Development Secret Every Leader Dreams Of
Imagine that for every 100 000 HUF invested, 788 000 are received back. Sounds pretty great, doesn't it?
Yet this is the reality of executive coaching!
According to MetrixGlobal research, executive coaching provides an average return on investment (ROI) of 788% for companies. But what happens when this efficiency is combined with organisational development?
The answer is simple: it transforms the future of the company.
The Revolutionary Impact of Coaching on Businesses
Sára, an HR manager at a medium-sized technology company, was desperate for a solution. Talented employees were leaving in droves, projects were running late and teamwork was getting worse. But after three months of executive coaching, everything changed.
"I didn't think things could change so quickly," said Sári. "Turnover has dropped from 45% to 12%, projects are completed on time and team members are solving problems independently." - It would be nice... But that is indeed the reality.
Concrete Results in Numbers
According to the International Coaching Federation, 86% of organisations experienced a positive ROI from their coaching investment, while 96% would use the service again. This is no coincidence: coaching delivers measurable results.
Individual performance development:
- 70% increase in individual performance (achievement of goals, clearer communication)
- 80% improvement in self-confidence and self-esteem
- 65% improvement in employee satisfaction
- 50% reduction in stress levels
Team performance improvement:
- 50% increase in team performance
- 40% improvement in teamwork

Organisational development: Catalyst for Transformation
While coaching brings breakthroughs at the individual level, organisational development optimises the whole system. The combination of the two methods creates a synergy that increases effectiveness exponentially.
The Success Story of a Logistics Company
A medium-sized logistics company has achieved significant productivity gains through coaching-based management. During the 18-month programme:
- 25% increased efficiency
- Error rate reduced by 30%
- Customer satisfaction improved with 40%
- Revenue up by 20%
"I was sceptical at first," admits Peter, the company's CEO. "But when I saw that team leaders themselves were starting to proactively solve problems and employees were motivated, I knew that this was the future and it seemed like a very good direction, we just had to make sure it was sustainable."
Synergy of the Two Methods: when 1+1=10
At individual level: the power of coaching
Coaching is the engine of personal development. According to John Whitmore, one of the pioneers of coaching, "Coaching is not about transferring knowledge, it's about unlocking the potential that already exists."
The transformation of a leader: Márton, a middle manager in a manufacturing company, initially delegated and micromanaged with difficulty. During the coaching process:

- Communication skills: Learning to listen actively and ask questions
- Leadership style: It has transformed its management method into supportive management
- Results: Team productivity increased by 35% and engagement improved by 50%
At organisational level: the power of organisational development
Organisational development optimises structures, processes and culture. In the words of organisational culture researcher Edgar Schein: "Culture eats everything for breakfast - even strategy."
