Frontline leadership that works in your language, on your site
Practical leadership development for newly promoted and emerging leaders across the Asia-Pacific, delivered by local trainers and built on 30 years of Response experience and Systems Leadership Theory.

Thirteen managers, in Vietnamese, taught by Vietnamese trainers
Our first Vietnam cohort completed the Frontline Leadership Program in Vietnamese, taught by Vietnamese trainers from our delivery partner SMARTR under the Australian College of Business and Industry brand.
The client was Queensland Label Makers (QLM), through its manufacturing business in Vietnam. Thirteen of its managers completed the program and each received a certificate of completion.

The Frontline Leadership Program
For newly promoted operators, technicians and tradespeople stepping into their first leadership roles. Built on Systems Leadership Theory, with practical tools people use the next day.

Response quality, delivered locally
1. Designed by Response
The content, methods and Systems Leadership framework come from Response, refined over 30 years.
2. Delivered by local trainers
Local trainers deliver in the participants' own language. They are trained by Response through a train-the-trainer program. In Vietnam, that is SMARTR, under the Australian College of Business and Industry brand.
3. Quality-assured
Response supports the trainers and reviews delivery so every cohort meets the same standard.
