Cal Wick is the Founder and Chairman of Fort Hill Company and a nationally-recognized consultant, educator, and researcher on improving the performance of managers and organizations. He was named “Thought Leader of the Year” by ISA, the Association of Learning Providers, in 2006 and was the recipient of the first-ever Neon Elephant Award by Work-Learning Research, Inc. Cal is co-author of the highly-acclaimed The Six Disciplines of Breakthrough Learning: How to Turn Training and Development into Business Results (Pfeiffer, 2006) and Getting Your Money’s Worth from Training and Development (Pfeiffer, 2009). Cal has spent the last 30 years studying how managers develop and businesses learn and apply new capabilities. His previous book, The Learning Edge: How Smart Managers and Smart Companies Stay Ahead (McGraw-Hill) is an in-depth study of how companies can make learning a competitive advantage. Cal’s research led to the concept of Follow-Through Management® and the development of web-based Follow-Through Tools® that improve results by increasing learning transfer and application. Cal recognized that the finish line for learning and development programs is no longer the last day of class, but rather months later when improved personal and business outcomes can be measured. This new finish line is becoming the standard of the learning industry. The tools that Cal developed have been used by more than 85,000 leaders in companies from Pfizer and Hewlett Packard to The Home Depot as well as leading business schools and training organizations. In 2005, the Center for Creative Leadership adopted Fort Hill’s Friday5s® as a core part of their flagship Leadership Development Program (LDP)®. Cal earned a Masters of Science degree while an Alfred P. Sloan Fellow at MIT’s Sloan School of Management. He graduated as a Rockefeller Fellow from Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut.
