How It Works

Foundations of Transformation is the entry point for first-time ATD Network colleges. It begins at the Kickoff Institute, where colleges review early momentum metrics. In year 1, colleges work with coaches on data analysis and action planning. Year 2 focuses on implementing the action plan and completing a comprehensive assessment using ATD’s Institutional Capacity Assessment Tool (ICAT). Results are explored in a Capacity Café, an all-college event highlighting strengths and opportunities for improvement. In year 3, colleges continue action plan implementation and, with ATD’s guidance, identify supports to sustain and advance their transformation.
