COMPEL Glossary / coaching-cadence

Coaching cadence

The rhythm of manager-employee conversations that sustains behaviour change after training events — typically weekly-to-monthly for the first two quarters of an AI rollout, then quarterly.

What this means in practice

Training without coaching cadence has near-zero sustained effect; the cadence is where reinforcement happens.

Synonyms

manager-coaching rhythm , coaching frequency
