DDI Foundation Subscription

Build a Strong Leadership Foundation

Frontline leadership is full of unique challenges. First-time leaders may lack skills or confidence. Tenured leaders may struggle to evolve. And frontline leaders across your organization have different approaches based on their experiences, resulting in a fractured leadership culture.

But the success of your company depends on building a strong foundation among all your leaders. It’s the only way to create the culture you need to support your business goals—now and as they change. And that’s exactly why we created the DDI Foundation Subscription.

What’s a Foundation Subscription?

Imagine a personalized and immersive learning experience built specifically for frontline and emerging leaders. Your leaders are welcomed with a personalized experience that directs them to a few focus areas to get started.

Then they engage with their peers in live learning sessions that help them build foundational skills like coaching, communication, and delegation. As they get the basics down, they explore more tools to practice their new skills and start to master more advanced skills. And when a new challenge arises, they know just where to go to learn how to handle it.

That’s exactly what you get with a DDI Foundation Subscription. With five decades of scientific research and experience, we know what it takes to create meaningful behavior change for leaders—and we put every last bit of it in our subscription so you can too.

The Power of Personalized Learning

Busy leaders often say they prefer to do self-driven learning on demand. The challenge? They never make the time.

But that changes when leaders have a more personalized experience. Suddenly, they can’t wait to learn more about their strengths and work on their challenges.

With a DDI Foundation Subscription, you can quickly engage your leaders with our award-winning, self-paced My Pathway: Leadership Core experience. After an assessment of their styles, strengths, and gaps, leaders get hyper-relevant content to learn and practice the skills they need. You can then review group data to guide live or blended learning sessions. Plus, manager support tools encourage managers of leaders to discuss individual development plans.
