Go from HR professional to trusted strategic coach.

Do you feel like you're dealing with the same "people problems" on a loop? Disengagement, burnout, high turnover, and ineffective leadership are the daily symptoms you see up close. But what if these weren't just isolated HR issues, but symptoms of deeper, systemic problems in the business's operating system? This course is built on a powerful idea: when you have the framework to diagnose the true root causes, you can stop fighting fires and start coaching leaders on how to build a business where these issues don't happen in the first place.

That's why we created FAST Foundations. Designed specifically for people-focused professionals like you, this course provides the complete business framework and vocabulary you need to connect your deep understanding of people and culture to the "hard" drivers of Growth, Productivity, and Profitability. This is where you elevate your practice from solving recurring symptoms to coaching leaders on building fundamentally better businesses.

You'll learn how to:

Gain Total System Clarity

Finally connect the "people problems" you see to their true source. Understand how operational flaws, financial pressures, or a weak growth strategy directly impact culture and team performance, giving you a powerful new diagnostic lens.

Build Resilient Organizational Structures

Go beyond traditional org charts. Learn the principles of the FAST Operating Model (OM) to help leaders design an organization that is both efficient and adaptive, with clear roles and effective teams that are built to thrive during growth.

Master the Strategic Game Plan

Learn to think and coach like a CEO. Use the Competitive Dominance Canvas (CDC) to guide leaders in creating a powerful, one-page strategic plan that aligns their solution to market needs and builds a defensible competitive advantage.

Align the Entire Organization

Your expertise in people and performance is crucial for alignment. Learn how to use OKRs and the FAST Cascade to connect high-level strategy to measurable team actions, ensuring everyone from the front lines to the C-suite is pulling in the same direction.

Speak the Language of Business Success

Build unshakable credibility with any executive. Master the vocabulary of Growth, Productivity, and Profitability to complement your expertise in Culture. Confidently hold your own in any strategic business conversation.
