Cal Wick is the Founder and CEO of Fort Hill Company which specializes in Follow-Through Management™. Cal is recognized nationally as a consultant, educator and researcher on improving the performance of managers and organizations. His book The Learning Edge: How Smart Managers and Smart Companies Stay Ahead (McGraw-Hill) provides an in-depth look at how leading companies make learning a competitive advantage.

Cal has spent the last 20 years studying how managers develop and businesses learn and apply new capabilities. His research led to the development of Friday5s®, a unique web-based system that improves results by putting learning into action. The approach increases the value of corporate learning and development and creates a new finish line by which learning success is judged. The old finish line of delivering great learning programs is no longer good enough. The new finish line of improved business and personal results is achieved only with excellent participant follow-through. This new finish line is increasingly becoming the standard of the corporate learning industry.

Fort Hill's Follow-Through Tools® have helped more than 30,000 managers and leaders in companies from Pfizer and Hewlett Packard to The Home Depot and universities like The London School of Business and Columbia University joint EMBA Program achieve improved results by applying what they learned. His latest research is on the critical factors beyond technology required to cause program learning to be put into action in the workplace and then how to measure the return on investment.

Cal earned a Masters of Science degree as an Alfred P. Sloan Fellow at MIT's Sloan School of Management. He graduated as a Rockefeller Fellow from Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut.
