Like all employers, the war for talent has increased the need for a&dc to consider how to improve our employer brand and what we need to offer our consulting staff to remain an employer of choice.
Having canvassed the opinion of our Consulting team, the unanimous need was for investment in the development of knowledge, skills and experience to optimise eligibility for promotion and help to achieve Chartered status.
“The Fast Track Programme enabled me to identify key areas for development and helped to clarify my career path from Consultant to Senior Consultant, allowing me to direct my own progression and achieve promotion.”
Kate Sobczak – Senior Consultant
Fast-track to success
The a&dc Fast-track Programme has been implemented to ensure that within a few years of joining a&dc our Consultants will be suitably equipped and experienced for promotion and perceived by peers and clients as competent and confident Senior Consultants.
The core element of the programme is a Career Progression Matrix; which breaks down Consultants’ career development into 6 month phases, outlining what knowledge skills and experience they could expect to obtain within this time-frame. This is further broken down into the key areas of:
- Client Relationship Management
- Delivery
- Project Management
- Internal Projects & Personal Development.
A Fast Track guidelines document supports Consultants in determining where they are in their development and what they have left to achieve before becoming eligible for promotion.
