Alliance Technical Group (ATG) believes our greatest strength lies in our people. While process and technology are key pillars of our business, it is our people who lead the way. That’s why we are committed to training, developing, and promoting team members from within.
As part of that commitment, ATG partnered with Development Dimensions International (DDI), a global leader in leadership development and assessment. Investing in and developing internal talent, 5 team members completed the DDI Certified Facilitator program, building internal leadership knowledge and expertise to facilitate current and future development programs.
In May 2025, we launched the Ascend Leadership Program, a development initiative designed for front-line leaders. This program helps participants explore the core principles of leadership, understanding themselves, leading others through change and uncertainty, motivating and empowering teams, and ultimately, driving meaningful results, not just as managers, but as people first, business-driven leaders.
Leadership Program
This first cohort included 16 ATG leaders who dedicated themselves to approximately 20 hours of leadership development over an 8-week period. Key components of the program included:
Behavioral Assessment: Provides insight into natural behavior and leader styles
Live, Virtual Sessions: Interactive sessions covering communication, trust-building, team leadership, and change management
Self-Paced Learning: Flexible modules focused on performance coaching, conflict resolution, and counseling strategies
Peer learning that fostered empathy, accountability, and shared growth
Following the successful completion of the pilot program, we are excited to announce the launch of our second and third cohorts, bringing together 39 additional leaders from across various business units. We look forward to continuing this journey and becoming a world-class leader of people development.
"In 2023, Alliance began investing heavily in the Learning and Development team and expanding employee training and development to align with our focus on career progression. The initial focus was centered around technical training to ensure our employees were equipped with knowledge to continue our industry-leading technical expertise. The Ascend Leadership Program, with a focus on developing leadership skills for our front-line leaders, has proven its value, and I am proud of Alliance’s commitment to investing in our most valuable asset-our people!" - Chris LeMay, CEO
