AB  - Organisations have been attempting to close the gender gap for many years, often with only limited success. GSK the global healthcare company, has implemented an innovative development initiative utilising both individual coaching and group coaching, simultaneously to support the development of female leaders. This case study research was undertaken from a social constructionist and interpretivist perspective and used semi-structured interviews and thematic analyses to examine how the combined coaching operated as an organisational development mechanism in support of closing the gender gap. The case is focused on the first cohort of the initiative `Accelerating Difference’ from 2013 to 2014.
