Accelerated Development Programme
The move from doing the work to leading the people who do it is the hardest transition in any career. The ADP gets new managers through it in 90 days — with structure, feedback and support that lasts beyond the classroom.
Made for the first management job
Most new managers are promoted because they were good at their previous job — then left to work out the new one alone. The ADP is built for that moment.
- Recently promoted team leaders
- First-time managers
- Technical specialists transitioning into management
- High-potential employees preparing for leadership roles
Everything a new manager needs
- 360-degree feedback tailored to the role
- A personalised learning plan built from the assessment
- Daily lessons of 3–7 minutes — practical, South African, immediately usable
- Professional coaching at key milestones
- An AI Leadership Coach available 24/7 for in-the-moment support
How the 90 days work
Short, focused learning activities and flexible coaching sessions, designed around a full diary.
Assess
A 360-degree assessment identifies the manager’s priority development areas — how they see themselves, and how their team, peers and manager see them.
Plan
The results become a personalised learning plan: the development areas that matter most for this manager, in this role, sequenced over 90 days.
Practise daily
One micro-lesson a day: a concept, a workplace scenario, questions that make the manager think, and concrete action steps to apply the same day.
Coach and consolidate
Milestone coaching sessions turn practice into habits, while the AI Leadership Coach answers questions as they arise — before the moment passes.
