A Strong Start. Lasting Impact.
New managers are often promoted for their technical skills, not their people leadership. They are expected to step up quickly, but are rarely given the tools or support they need.
This program helps new managers:
- Transition from team member to manager with confidence
- Build credibility and influence with their team
- Set clear expectations and create accountability
- Communicate effectively and have better conversations
- Delegate with confidence and develop their people
- Manage performance and deal with challenges early
- Prioritise, plan and manage their time effectively

Why do Organisations Choose the Accelerator?
A traditional workshop can build knowledge and skills. Our 90 Day Accelerator is designed to go further.
Participants develop the capability during the workshop, apply it to real workplace situations, receive facilitator reinforcement, involve their manager in the development process and demonstrate application over the following 90 days.
Performance & Accountability in AI Workplaces
AI is transforming how work is delivered, while managers remain accountable for performance, quality and outcomes. They must assess contributions, set standards, verify work, define acceptable AI use and preserve human judgement. This program examines how managers can use AI responsibly while maintaining accountability, strengthening performance management, and leading effective, informed conversations with their teams.
Built for Your Organisation
Accelerator programs are tailored to organisational priorities, participant challenges and desired outcomes through pre-program assessments, and sponsor input. Examples, exercises, scenarios and relevant terminology, policies and processes are adapted accordingly.
