to grow even faster in the future, so there are lots of opportunities to
both advise and learn.

The system has been built and maintained using external resource but it is

Want to know a bit more about Coach in a Box?
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Coach in a Box provide Leadership Coaching, much of which is carried out
over the phone, an area in which they were first to market and continue to
be the market leader. They have been operating for 8 years and have
developed their own in house software which is the backbone of how their
business model operates.

In February 2011, this platform was relaunched as a Ruby on Rails
application and continues to grow and evolve with the business and probably
represents the biggest barrier to entry to any other company seeking to
compete with Coach in a Box. They are a global company having coached over
13,000 individuals in 40+ countries with over 130 accredited coaches who,
between them, are capable of coaching in over 20 different languages.  They
have offices in Singapore and Australia and are currently growing in India,
USA and Brazil.
