If your company is achieving amazing results and you are still struggling to motivate your team, don’t change the team. Change the only thing you can control – yourself. Because you don’t need to change everything to make a change, but the 1% that changes everything.
Who Are We?
We are FORWARD Consulting, a management consulting firm with a mission of unleashing the leadership potential within individuals and organizations, enabling them to navigate and thrive in a dynamic world.
We combine our 20+ years of experience working as top executives in the government, non-profit, corporations, and startups with the academic knowledge gained at Harvard University to create programs that 90% of our clients give the highest rating.
Behind this story is our founder, Ana Babović, who has been leading change initiatives and innovation campaigns for the past 20 years in governmental, non-governmental, and business sectors in Serbia, Europe, and the US. The results of her leadership work were not only reflected in achieved KPIs but were also captured in case studies written by the World Bank and Harvard. This is proof of what she believes in – excellence is achieved when coupled with the right team dynamics, steadfast commitment to continuous learning and a culture of adaptability.

WHAT MAKEs US
Unique
01
Tailor-Made Approach
"One size fits all" doesn't really fit anyone; all our services are customized to meet the unique needs of each client.
02
We Don’t Deliver Solutions
Rather than presenting solutions on a platter, we focus on enabling and supporting our clients to develop these solutions.
03
We Like To See Our Clients Go
Our goal is that our clients won't need us in the future, so we focus on developing their skills to handle the challenges of the future on their own. However, our commitment to excellence means supporting them until the inner leader is primed and ready to take the following steps.
04
Our Clients Created Us
All we do grew out of our clients' needs and challenges; our business was developed as a response to people coming to us asking for help in learning how to do things they saw us do in our work.
Our programs
FORWARD programs are based on or inspired by the leadership development frameworks developed by Professors Marshall Ganz and Ronald Heifetz from Harvard University, alongside other frameworks developed and taught at Harvard and MIT.
