Future FITT™ Programs
From Perform–Transform Tension → to Future FITT™ Activation
Skills development is a Top CHRO priority for the next two years (Korn Ferry, 2025).
Why?
Because leaders are under immense pressure to grow and expand (69%) while simultaneously cutting costs and boosting productivity (56%).
The problem?
60% of organisations struggle to move away from old ways of thinking
Only 40% incorporate disruptive ideas into their businesses
30% of CHROs admit their leaders aren’t aligned with transformation needs
👉 Ambition is high. Capability is not.
👉 Transformation can’t wait. Organisations that don’t evolve risk being left behind.
The Challenges Organisations Face Today
🔹 Economic uncertainty (60%), skills shortages (39%), and rapid tech disruption including AI (37%) are rewriting the rules of growth.
🔹 Leaders feel stuck in the Perform–Transform tension - driving efficiency today while building capabilities for tomorrow.
🔹 72% of CHROs say they need to update their EVP to attract future talent.
🔹 Only 48% know how to secure the future skills they need through hiring, or reskilling.
Employees are also feeling the gap:
60% of employees would stay in a job they dislike if it gave them rapid upskilling opportunities
AI-specific training increases motivation and discretionary effort by 192%
The message is clear: skills, agility, and leadership confidence are non-negotiable.
Programs
Future FITT™ Programs
Not your usual Leadership Development. These are Activation Programs built for breakthrough growth.
Most companies have a “leadership development program.”
Leading organisations go further. They activate growth, confidence, and transformation in real time.
Leadership Growth Activation Program
Future FITT™ Leaders
Equip your leaders to lead confidently in the new world of work.

Build confidence in their new world leadership
Strengthen the human leadership skills that fuel collaboration, adaptability, and growth
Test, experiment, and problem-solve in real time
Apply tools immediately in their roles for ongoing impact
The result?
Leaders who don’t just “develop.” They activate, grow, and elevate your business to the next level.

What future FITT™ Activators are Saying
“The best facilitation I’ve ever experienced”
“I’ve built really great relationships & (you’ve) provided the opportunity to reflect & an ‘aha’, is that it starts with you. (Your Program) gives you the building blocks & foundation”
“Forcing me to look at the bigger picture & what I am ultimately trying to achieve, & the tools you’ve introduced that are tangible & super helpful to help me achieve the goals & sharing ideas has been super helpful as well.”
“Thanks v. much for giving all of us an opportunity to pause, step back & assess our lives more holistically & giving us the tools to achieve the outcomes we have imagined for ourselves. Having been a hamster for most of my career, this has been a super rare opportunity to get together & learn from each other – that has probably been the best part. These learnings will be lifelong & I will treasure what I’ve learnt & hope to action it as much as possible. And there’s loads more to learn by reading up on the books you’ve sent us!”
“Thanks for facilitating an amazing course. It was nice to spend some time focusing on our own development in amongst the busy workloads & lockdowns.”
“We are more confident & more positive”
“I really love these sessions. I didn't know what to expect but I've found these really helpful & the insights so valuable. Without the enforced time out & regular sessions I would never have got to this level & to grow at this level.”
“I feel really clear, I have clear objectives & vision & clarity for the team.”
“Focusing on real examples inspires us to stretch positively & practically”
“(I’ve) put this into practice, it’s game changing”
“At a previous organisation I didn’t have any role models. Now I have many (role models) all around the table. All different & all role models in their work & life.”
“(WIL Participant) used to ask me (questions) all the time. Now she goes ahead & just does it. She’s really grown as a leader.”
“We need this safe space. It’s so needed in this male dominated industry. We need this to keep going.”
“This is so good of the Organisation. It’s felt like development in me & I am a better leader because of it.”
“I just wanted to send you a quick note to share some news. Yesterday my boss gave me a promotion, and I am now the Director of Billing. I have my training project in the works with my team, and my team is growing, but they are all AWESOME!! I just wanted to say THANK YOU for all your training, help and support along the way. Never in a million years would have I reached for this goal without your help!” (Director, Cologix, US & Canadian Tech firm)
