what we do

Ideas Crafted. People Grown. Brands Distinct.

At Fast Forward we believe that we all can do more by building capacity. However, we are conscious that there is a dearth of capacity and capability in marketing, sales and overall leadership. The VUCA world we are living in, demands that we think out of the box, anticipating the consumer aspiration and need, and shape our proposition to meet the changing needs. Many great brands have been born and built in adversity because there was BELIEF.  At Fast Forward, we are a unique team that has demonstrated that we can dream big and work together to deliver bigger in the market place.

Training

Training that Sticks and Stands Out.

At Fast Forward, training isn’t an event; it’s a catalyst for real change. We design sessions that spark fresh thinking and equip your teams with practical skills they’ll actually use. From tailored workshops in marketing, sales, and leadership to pinpointing skill gaps and guiding on-the-job application, we turn learning into lasting impact.

We approach every brief by first understanding the current context, and the skills and competency of the team. Based on the above gap analysis we craft a customized programme to enable the team and the business to thrive beyond the classroom. Typically our training includes learning from cases studies, workshopping and brainstorming techniques and tools. Where relevant we will also bring in expertise leveraging our network.

Consultancy

Clarity amid Complexity.

When the path forward feels tangled, we help you see the way through. Fast Forward blends sharp analysis with decades of practical experience to solve business puzzles big and small. Whether you’re growing a brand, refining a route to market, or driving operational efficiency, we bring strategies you can act on—and stand beside you through execution.

We not only provide a framework for solving a business need, we believe in partnering the team and business to practically implement and execute the strategy. The team at Fast Forward is able to bring multiple real life examples and situations, having worked in MNCs and leading local conglomerates.

Individual Mentoring & Coaching

Growth is Personal.

Some challenges don’t belong in a boardroom—they belong in a conversation. Our one-on-one coaching helps professionals navigate career leaps, sharpen leadership skills, and step confidently into new roles. It’s thoughtful guidance tailored to the individual, because the future of your business is shaped by the people within it.

As individuals the team at Fast Forward takes immense pride in having built and shaped leaders across all levels of the organisations we have worked in. People we have invested in have grown to lead large conglomerates and shape leading brands both locally and internally. We believe in harnessing the potential of leaders to enable them to grow and deliver.

Why Fast Forward?

Plenty of firms deliver slides. We deliverchange.

We combine decades of hard-earned experience with sleeves-rolled-up practicality. We’re as comfortable in a boardroom as we are in a training room—and we don’t believe our work is done until yours is working better.
