Abstract
This study explored strategies that have reduced time-to-proficiency of the workforce in multinational organisations. 85 participants contributed 66 project cases. Data were collected through interviews with project leaders and analysed using thematic analysis. Matrix analysis was used to perform within-case and cross-case analysis. An Accelerated Proficiency Model was developed representing interactions among six business-level practices as a closed-loop system to explain accelerated proficiency. These practices were implemented through twenty-four strategies proven successful in various workplace contexts. The strategies employed were much beyond the boundaries of conventional training interventions, while the job itself acted as the primary mechanism to accelerate proficiency.
