UK businesses are reportedly increasing investment in leadership development to ensure leadership capabilities evolve at the same pace as their heavy technology investments in areas such as automation, artificial intelligence, and cloud platforms, as of June 17, 2026. Previously, on May 20, 2026, CoachHub highlighted the benefits of data-driven coaching for organizations undergoing significant change, including transformations, restructurings, rapid growth, and disruptions. A LinkedIn post promoting a new guide from CoachHub emphasized coaching's role in managing uncertainty, adapting behaviors, and sustaining performance amidst reduced capacity. Earlier, on May 15, 2026, CoachHub's research indicated that 84% of work processes still employ older methods even after AI investments, largely due to organizations not investing enough in the behavioral changes necessary for technology adoption. The company also suggested a coaching-led approach to address the widening AI skills gap, which extends beyond data scientists to all employees interacting with AI tools. According to Skillsoft's 2024 IT Skills and Salary Report, 56% of respondents anticipate skill gaps to persist in their teams over the next one to two years. Furthermore, challenges in AI adoption are primarily human rather than technical, as many organizations stall after deployment due to insufficient investment in change management, skills development, and habit change at the individual level, with only 26% of organizations reporting real business value from AI (BCG 2024).
