Our Growth for Everyone Programming
Our people are the foundation of our success, and we’re committed to making growth not just encouraged, but accessible to all. Our Growth for Everyone system includes a variety of professional development programs designed to build leadership capabilities and sharpen job-specific skills.
- Consultant Curriculum is for Technical and Business Consultants who want to take their skills to the next level. It offers colleagues a mixture of self-paced online modules, instructional videos, articles, assignments, and sessions recorded by subject matter experts. Organized into three cohorts, this program provides a clear path for career progression by aligning colleagues with their current role and next career step: Associate to Consultant, Consultant to Senior Consultant, and Senior Consultant to Lead Consultant.
- Learning to Lead is for individual contributors interested in stepping into people leadership roles. Through six themed modules, participants gain practical insights supported by monthly facilitated training sessions and individual assessments, all focused on leadership best practices and effective team management.
- Leading With Impact is our flagship program for global people leaders, designed to strengthen leadership skills and build deeper relationships with direct reports. Over six months, participants gain clear, actionable strategies to successfully lead and inspire their teams through individual assignments, peer cohorts, and engaging live sessions.
- Once colleagues have graduated from one of the above leadership development programs, they’re invited to participate in Elevate, an optional resource providing access to on-demand curriculum and live sessions centered on leadership excellence.
