With our launch into schools, First100 is bringing together many years of experience in performance acceleration for leaders in the First 100 Days. We have worked with hundreds of newly appointed senior executives and teams across blue chip corporations and the public sector.
Since 2004, First100 Ltd has emerged as the global leading specialists on leadership performance acceleration in the first 100 days. First100assist™ is a unique framework and methodology, focused on the ‘first 100 days’ leadership step up development and new role performance acceleration.
The first 100 days of a new role has a major determining factor on overall leadership performance and impact in the first 12 months and beyond. By branching into First100 Schools in New York and London with unique performance acceleration programs that can be brought inhouse, First100 is making the framework and methodology accessible on a wider scale.
Our client track record includes working with senior executives from Telecommunications (BT, Telefonica O2, Vodafone), Pharmaceuticals (Boston Scientific, Genzyme, Merck, Teva), Technology companies (Accenture, Appsense, McAfee, Microsoft), Financial Services (Sunlife, Oliver Wyman Group) and others including energy companies (BP) and FMCG (John West).

THE CHALLENGE
