Get up to speed faster and smarter in your new role

Transitions are vulnerable times. When you’re a leader taking on a new role, your early actions have a decisive impact on your success or failure. In addition, transitioning today can be even more complex given the new possibilities of working virtually. How will you use the critical first 90 days in your new position to shape your future success?

Embark on The First 90 Days® interactive journey, pioneered by renowned leadership transitions expert and best-selling author Michael Watkins. By using a proven framework, reinforced through peer-to-peer and individual coaching, you will make a thorough diagnosis of your challenges and opportunities and create a detailed action plan for your next 90 days.

Set yourself up for success in your new role without leaving your office.

Assess the situation

Diagnose the situation in your new role, including the business challenges, your new team, the culture, and the stakeholder environment.

Define your goals

Define your strategic direction and plan how to align expectations, reshape your team, create alliances, and secure “early wins”.

Build your roadmap

Create a roadmap to navigate this critical, challenging time and implement your transition strategy for success in your new role.

You and your class

Are you moving into a leadership role at a new organization or being promoted to a more senior role? Are you taking over a new team? Or have you recently transitioned to a new position?

Then join other executives in transition from different industries, cultures, and countries for an enriching learning experience.

You can take this program before formally starting your new job or within the first four months in your new role. Read more about the admission criteria.
