Alison joined IES as a Principal Research Fellow in 1998. In 2010 she became a Principal Associate alongside consultancy assignments in the United States, Europe and Australia, before re-joining IES in 2016. She writes, speaks and consults on a range of HR, change and leadership development issues. Her current research includes mindfulness and organisation readiness for change, but it is her evaluation of training and development programmes at work (especially coaching) for which she is recognised as an international expert.
Alison set up IES's coaching research work back in 2001 after publishing one of the first exploratory studies in the UK into the executive coaching process. She directed further studies on introducing coaching capability; methods for coaching evaluation; team coaching; the impact of coaching on employee engagement and well-being; barriers to successful outcomes from coaching and, more recently; organisational support for coachees. She was a founding Director of the European Mentoring and Coaching Council (EMCC), Co-Chair of the 2nd Harvard International Coaching Research Forum, judge on Opportunity Now gender equality awards for employers and is a member of the Editorial Advisory Board for the International Journal for Mindfulness and Compassion at Work.
Previously Alison worked in a range of HR, learning & development and senior management roles in the NHS and IBM (UK). She has an MBA from Henley Management College and a professional doctorate. Alison is also a Chartered Fellow of CIPD and member of the Academy of Management.
