OSCAR Model

 

OSCAR Model for Coaching and Leadership

The OSCAR model is a structured coaching framework used in project management and leadership to help individuals achieve their goals effectively. It stands for Outcome, Situation, Choices (or Consequences), Actions, and Review.


1. Outcome (O) - Define the Goal

  • Identify the desired future state.
  • Ask: What do you want to achieve?
  • Example: If coaching someone for the PMP exam, their outcome might be passing the exam and securing a better job.

2. Situation (S) - Assess the Current State

  • Evaluate current skills, abilities, and knowledge.
  • Understand how their present level affects performance.
  • Example: If the person hasn’t started studying, the current state is zero preparation.

3. Choices (C) - Identify Options and Consequences

  • Explore different approaches to reaching the goal.
  • Consider potential challenges and their impacts.
  • Example: The choices could include:
    • Studying 2 hours per day → Gradual improvement.
    • Taking a crash course → Quick learning but high pressure.

4. Actions (A) - Develop an Action Plan

  • Set clear, immediate, and achievable goals.
  • Focus on execution and accountability.
  • Example: Creating a study schedule, completing a set number of practice tests each week.

5. Review (R) - Track Progress and Stay Motivated

  • Conduct regular check-ins and offer support.
  • Ensure consistency and adaptation if needed.
  • Example: Weekly review meetings to assess study progress and motivation levels.

Summary

  • Outcome: Define the goal (Future state).
  • Situation: Assess current abilities (Current state).
  • Choices: Identify possible solutions and their effects.
  • Actions: Implement the selected approach.
  • Review: Monitor progress and keep the individual engaged.

By using the OSCAR model, leaders and coaches can guide individuals from their current state to the desired future state effectively.
