    How the program works

    The First 90 Days® is a highly-interactive virtual learning journey consists of pre-program, program and post-program elements. The program runs over 3 half-days.

    Program journey

    Pre-program

    Start your learning with case studies and background reading.

    Program

    Explore The First 90 Days® Transition Roadmap framework and toolkit and apply it. By analyzing your transition challenges and defining your goals (for you, your teams and your organization), you’ll design a plan for your next 90 days and identify ways to deliver results immediately. This learning journey is highly interactive, offering you case discussions, assessment exercises and peer coaching.

    Post-program

    After the program ends, you have the option, for an additional fee, of getting coaching to further develop and implement your plan for the next 90 days. An experienced coach, trained in The First 90 Days® Transition Roadmap framework and skilled in helping leaders accelerate their transitions would work with you 1:1 over the next 30 to 60 days.
