There are four types of reports:

• Micro reports: Short examples of lessons learned, best practice and innovations from the construction programme.
• Case studies: Peer reviewed papers on lessons learned, best practice and innovations from across the Programme.
• Research summaries: Summary reports of research projects undertaken by academia and industry on the London 2012 construction.  These organisations will also publish full research papers as they are finalised throughout 2012.   Over 600 interviews were undertaken by researchers on the ODA and its supply chain as part of the learning legacy research.
• Champion products: Examples of tools and templates used successfully on the programme.

The reports have been classified into 10 themes:
• Programme and project management;

• Procurement and supply chain management;
