How do we do things differently?
In everything we do, we are bringing together 20+ years’ experience in learning delivery and people development within diverse organisations in different countries.
Over a number of years we have designed and fine-tuned OUR UNIQUE LEARNING PROCESS that ensures high quality design and delivery of our services and a memorable learning experience for your people.
We think of your organisation as a partner in whichever learning journey we take. Together, we agree behaviour changes you want to see as a result of the learning and measure them through our EVALUATION PROCESS. After the learning, we review and discuss the results together at the Stakeholder Review Meeting.
We keep a close eye on latest development in our industry and continuously update the techniques we use to create a fun and interactive learning experience for your people. Some of our LEARNING TECHNIQUES include approaches from the areas such as accelerated learning, NLP and neuroscience. These all enable participants to learn deeper and faster.
We delivery training both live-online and in person. Unlike most online trainings, ours doesn’t focus on fancy online collaboration tools, webinar-like experiences or power point presentations. Both online and in-person, we use flipcharts VISUAL FACILITATION and, together with participants, co-create a memorable visual representation of the learning.
What development tools do we use?
Depending on your needs and the goals of the programme we will use award-winning tools DISC Flow and / or Genos EI and/or SDI 2.0 to develop your peoples' emotional intelligence and relationship intelligence and to increase the impact of the learning experience.
The reason we put so much emphasis on developing people’s emotional and relationship intelligence is because the way people choose to SHOW UP, impacts the way other around them FEEL. The way people FEEL, impacts the extent to which they ENGAGE and the extent to which they ENGAGE impacts the QUALITY of their relationships and the RESULTS of your organisation.
We use these tools to help organisations:
Develop powerful leadership
Build cohesive teams
Improve sales and customer service
Enhance communication
Reduce conflict
Increase personal engagement
Build a psychologically safe culture
Reduce stress

Djurdjica Preočanin, Training & Development Manager, Coca Cola Beverages Croatia
As much as we were clear about what our needs are when it comes to ‘influencing’ as training, the more difficult part was sourcing training suppliers who could actually recognise what we need and design and deliver a customized programme. Fast Forward did the job perfectly, from Training Needs Analysis to training design and delivery. The impact of the training is now visible every day when you talk to delegates - the profiling tool itself (SDI®)

After having experienced personal interpretation of my Genos report, I can say that interpretation by an experienced person in this area is necessary for the report to truly have value. I could not have reflected my report through the responses of others by myself, because I would give in to my own perceptions and filters. With skilful help of Fast Forward I not only saw how others see me but already also found concrete ideas to

I found the Emotionally intelligent workplace behaviour feedback report very helpful as an insight to a better communication, establishing more genuine and effective contact firstly with myself, secondly with the people around me. It is a great guideline for a better self-awareness and more fulfilling relationships. It is also a very detailed tool that helps you asses and understand your competences in various areas, while it gives you step by step guidance and support
Igor Boševski, Supplier Relationship Manager ESO Chemicals, Lek d.d.
We gained quite a new perspective on how we are different, with some people that are thinking deeply, while others are just goign straight ahead and some taking care more fort he people or putting the emphasis on strong relationships. Indeed, fort he phrase that we value diversity, we got a flavor of what that really means in our day-to-day work.
Nada Grozl, Customer Service Manager, The Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company.
Fast Forward helped our Customer Service team to realise that an individual cannot win as an individual, but as an individual, but as a team. By using SDI we learned how to react to different types of people and this really helps to make our dialy work with customers and colleagues easier. This has helped us to solve problems together and to adapt easier with less stress to all the changes we are facing daily.
Dominik Gaser PhD, Department Head, Cell and Molecular Biology, Lek d.d.
The communication was better after our teambuilding and also performance of the whole team increased. People were speaking more openly about tehir values, style of communication and different personality types were better undestood after the workshop. This workshop helped also me as a leader since I can slightly modify the communication with each individual.
