Atlanta Business Strategies Firm Launches "Online Follow Through" Program for Executive Training

Corporate Performance Strategies harnesses FortHill Follow Through Tools™ platform for increased knowledge transfer and retention

(February 10, 2009) Atlanta, GA – Corporate Performance Strategies (CPS), an Atlanta-based business strategies and executive coaching firm, has selected and implemented FortHill’s suite of Follow Through Tools™ to develop and launch customized, online follow up for their executive coaching, talent management and leadership development programs.

FortHill’s suite of products is designed to maximize the knowledge transfer and long term effectiveness of corporate training and development programs. Based on a concept called Follow Through Management®, these tools increase the effectiveness of corporate training by providing follow up information, online support and accountability, and a medium for ongoing communication and exchange between the coaches and the candidates.

“This unique service is a substantial value-add to our executive coaching and talent management and development clients,” Brookmire says. “This tool enables us to maximize the effectiveness of our individual coaching programs by giving us a medium for continuous interaction with the candidate after the coaching is finished, and to develop specific follow up materials for each candidate. This method is a great fit for CPS, because our business is based on long-term client relationships and customized solutions for each client’s business development needs. ”

Fort Hill’s Follow-Through Tools™ begin where most learning programs end: at the close of the formal training. CPS will initially implement Fort Hill’s Development Engine®, which was specially designed for development programs for high-potentials. This program ensures follow-through on individual development plans and enhances execution of plans, managerial involvement and executive coaching.

“One of the most critical factors of successful knowledge transfer is consistent exposure to and successful application of new concepts,” Brookmire continues. “This service enables us to maintain long term contact with our candidates even after their coaching and development programs are over, and gauge how effectively they are applying the strategies and concepts they have learned. These long term assessments help us identify strengths and weaknesses, reinforce concepts and increase overall program success.”
