Dear Colleagues

 

The Leadership Foundation for Higher Education (LFHE, http://www.lfhe.ac.uk/) have commissioned a some research to explore the impact of coaching in Higher Education.  In particular the study sets out to identify the ways in which we use and value coaching in Higher Education and to find out how we know if it works.  More details can be found on the attached information sheet.

 

The outputs from the research will be in two parts – the findings and the provocation.

 

The findings will include a review of the literature; an analysis of the ways in which coaching is used, valued and evaluated; and up to six case studies of HE institutions demonstrating some of the ways in which coaching is used and how the impact is measured.

The provocation will include a challenge to the notion of the Return on Investment for coaching interventions and/or a provocation to the sector on approaches to the ways that the value of coaching is assessed, which may or may not involve financial or other metrics.

We are part way through the project and are now writing to give you an opportunity to contribute to this important research that will help us to understand more about coaching in Higher Education.  If you are interested in participating, please read the attached Information Sheet and then click on the link to complete the survey, which should take about 15 minutes.  We are interested to receive your responses as soon as possible and the final deadline for the survey is 30 June 2016.
