Recent research at Harvard University has shown that the adjustment period required for new or redeployed managers can be as long as 15‐18 months. Businesses can significantly reduce this time by taking steps to help the transition of its new managers using “xcelerate” – a highly specialised approach to role transition management. This can also help to prevent potentially disastrous and costly failures. The advanced coaching and role transition management techniques in xcelerate have helped businesses to: benefit from managers' role placements at a much earlier stage than would normally be expected; retain high levels of performance when roles or the business structure change; achieve speed to market in competitive scenarios; drive through the succession plan and accelerate the progress of “high potentials”; manage the risk involved in assigning people to mission‐critical activities; avoid potentially disastrous or costly failures downstream; substantially increase managers' confidence and performance levels; and develop managers to take a more strategic approach.
