An executive-development program based on the transition acceleration model can be a central component of a more ambitious strategy for developing high-potential leaders. In such programs, which typically last days, cohorts of high-potential leaders who are transitioning into new roles are introduced to the transition acceleration model, work through new-leader simulations and case studies, and do some first-90-days planning for their own transitions. In the course of intense work in small groups, longer- term advice-and-counsel relationships often coalesce.
