•  Our research shows that line managers are increasingly being expected to deliver coaching in the workplace. We commissioned the University of Portsmouth Business School to investigate what this means for organisations and for line managers. The report of their research, Coaching at the sharp end, was published in April 2009, and can be ordered from our bookstore.

• We worked with Ashridge Centre for Excellence in Coaching on a project examining coaching provision in UK organisations. We published the report on the research Developing Coaching Capability in Organisations in April 2008. It includes case studies on Cega Group, Orange, Essex County Council, Yell, the BBC, Zurich Financial Services, the Metropolitan police, and M&G, providing insights into the practices and experiences of leading organisations.
