The challenges of coaching and mentoring
in a digitally connected world
An essay of an academic practitioner
David Clutterbuck
Emerging technologies typically pose both challenges and opportunities.
This paper explores the potential impact of artificial intelligence on coach-
ing and mentoring. I provide first an overview of how electronic media have
influenced coaching and mentoring to date, then review the current state
of artificial intelligence technologies and how they may enhance coaching
practice by humans and also how they may in some circumstances replace
basic level coaching. Finally, I explore the exciting potential of coach-artifi-
cial intelligence partnerships and how to create these alliances. It appears
from this analysis that the ability of coaches to incorporate artificial intel-
ligence into their practice may depend at least in part to their stage of
socio-emotional and cognitive maturity. However, there are also potential
dangers and downsides of bringing artificial intelligence into the coach-
client relationship.
It is a truism that every tool can be used for good or ill. It is also probably true
that every idea can equally be used with positive or negative intent and/or impact.
In this short essay, I focus on existing and emerging technologies, exploring
how they can be used now and how they may be used in the future. I also look
at the challenges posed by these current and future technologies.
The point of using technology is firstly that it makes a task or activity eas-
ier, or less costly in either effort or resource use, or both; and secondly that it
enhances the activity, making it more accurate, or more effective, or gives it
additional functionality.
We can divide technological advancement in coaching and mentoring into
two, sometimes overlapping, categories: those relating to time and space and
those relating to enhancing and supplementing human faculties. To the first of
these belong the technologies of telecommunication, including e-mail, Skype
