It is an ongoing approach\u00a0that we adopted long time ago, in order to promote cross functional and cross regional support among staff members, enhancing innovative ways of learning\u00a0and making peers to peers support a winning\u00a0card of our people development strategy. That goes hand in hand with the internal coaching programmes and it&#8217;s with this clear objective in mind that we we also introduced the possibility of building coaching and mentoring relationships as a follow up to our V-Lead programme.\u201d <em>Francesca Romana Marcucci \u2014\u00a0Head People &amp; Culture Development,\u00a0WWF International<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In addition, we continue to mobilise support from our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.coachmentoring.co.uk\/articles\/2019\/05\/alumni-mentors-help-wwf-staff-improve-skills-strategic-thinking-case-study\/\">Alumni mentors<\/a>\u00a0for further know-how and knowledge transfer within our global network.<\/p>\n<h2>Involving the Global South is key for knowledge transfer in a global organisation<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.coachmentoring.co.uk\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Global-South-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"Global South\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-4530\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.coachmentoring.co.uk\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Global-South-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.coachmentoring.co.uk\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Global-South-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.coachmentoring.co.uk\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Global-South-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.coachmentoring.co.uk\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Global-South.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/>All staff have important learnings to offer and the programme encourages proactive sharing of expertise which helps in learning on the job and achieving conservation goals.<\/p>\n<p>WWF gives special attention to good matching with the help of our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.coachmentoring.co.uk\/articles\/2021\/07\/mentoring-ambassadors-bring-diversity-benefits-to-global-programme\/\">Mentoring Ambassadors who continue to bring diversity benefits<\/a>\u00a0into the programme.
