ATD recognises practices that demonstrate clear and measurable results which help achieve organisational goals, meet a demonstrated need, have appropriate design values, and are clearly aligned with other performance improvement initiatives. Our three Fast Forward programmes prepare our leaders for the next leadership levels by building their capability and readiness with a mix of soft skills development, mindset shifts and critical experiences. Last year, 629 people participated in our Fast Forward programs. More than 80% of Fast Forward participants get promoted to new roles annually.

While we have frameworks and great technology in place, we know that leadership skills play a very big role in career progression. Our signature Fast Forward programmes unlock the potential of our talent by developing this critical capability and speeding up promotion opportunities.”
