Accelerating Results
About This Course
In order for change to advance, you must demonstrate progress through visible wins. At the end of the day, people like winning because winning feels good – it feeds our Thrive channel and gives us the confidence and energy to charge ahead.
Wins can take many forms and are exhibited through what we do, the ways we work, and how we think. In this self-paced online course, you will learn how to build a wins strategy, generate high-impact, short-term results, and create a winning mindset in your organization. You will tackle questions such as:
- What is a win?
- How will I recognize a win when I see it?
- What do I do with a win once I’ve identified it?
- How can I help my team or organization engineer wins to show what is possible?
Accelerating Results was designed by Kotter experts to introduce a model for leading wins and accelerating results that anyone can implement. As part of the experience, you’ll see examples of what wins look like and how they can be celebrated and communicated. You’ll also have the opportunity to practice sharing and communicating wins by reflecting on your own change.
With the Science of Change and real-life stories as reference, you’ll immediately practice applying what you’ve learned to your change.

Accelerating Results is based on three core content modules
Module 1. Elements of a Wins Strategy
Wins – small and large – are a function of our actions, our environment, and our mindset. In this module, you will learn to identify barriers to winning and craft a wins roadmap. The model you will use includes how to lead, generate, discover, celebrate, and communicate wins.
Module 2. Activating a Winning Mindset
Urgency around a Big Opportunity inspires wins by helping to answer the question “What are we running towards?” Clarity around and belief in the vision of the future encourage the mindset needed to successfully implement change. Simply stated: the message matters. In this module, you will learn how to move people from “won’t” to “will” through building a winning mindset.
Module 3. The Practice of Winning
Our research and our work with clients constantly reminds us of the significance of early, blockbuster results as an accelerant of change. In this module, you will learn the key ingredients of generating high-impact, short-term wins along with approaches for achieving big, results-focused goals.
