Commissioned Research
Bringing evidence and insight to the questions that matter most.
Where can research add value?
Culture & transformation
Understanding experiences, perspectives and patterns that shape organisational culture, particularly during periods of change or transformation.
Leadership & performance
Exploring the people factors influencing leadership, performance and organisational effectiveness.
Emerging issues
Investigating new questions, trends or challenges where evidence is needed to inform decisions.
From questions to insight
Organisations commission research for a variety of reasons: to develop thought leadership that opens up new conversations, bring robust evidence into the design of a leadership programme or approach, or understand the cultural factors influencing transformation.
Example research questions:
How are the demands and expectations on leadership changing?
How do you develop a culture of innovation in a regulated industry?
How do you build trust within executive teams?
What are the current and emerging trends in learning delivery?
What does the latest evidence tell us about effective coaching programmes?

Helen Pullen
Head of Learning and Organisational Development at NFU Mutual
I highly recommend Amy, her expertise and insight helped further transform and modernise our Learning & Organisational Development approach. Through Amy’s strategic support, we compared ourselves against leading companies and practices, and identified opportunities that we were able to turn into practical changes in Talent, Engagement and Onboarding.
Amy’s collaborative and engaging style empowered my team to think differently, challenge assumptions, and create reputable solutions in collaboration with our senior business leaders.
As a result of this work, we have since received recognition through national awards in Talent, Engagement, and Onboarding - an achievement that reflects the impact of Amy’s contribution. Her influence has helped shape a high-performing, inclusive culture where people truly thrive.
I am deeply grateful for Amy’s support and wholeheartedly recommend her to any organisation seeking to elevate their organisational effectiveness.

Working with Amy has been an absolute pleasure. She is a genuine expert at what she does, and the quality of her work is outstanding. From the very beginning, she felt like a true partner. She really listened to what we were trying to achieve, understood our business and what mattered to us, and was incredibly open and responsive to feedback throughout.
Her ability to take a huge amount of research and turn it into something insightful, compelling and beautifully written is exceptional. The quality of her thinking and writing has been incredible. More than anything, this has felt like a real partnership. We’ve created something together that we’re incredibly proud of and that I genuinely believe will shape our thinking and our business for years to come.
I couldn’t recommend Amy highly enough
