About Us

Progress was created to bridge the gap between assessing employee potential and developing real capability.

Our solution, the Progress Capability Platform, builds on the knowledge and expertise of our parent company, OPIC, Australia's renowned talent solutions provider. Drawing upon decades of experience partnering with organisations across industries, our platform helps you understand not just who your people are today, but what they’re truly capable of becoming. 

Organisations are not short on recruitment and development insights; they are short on ways to turn that insight into lasting behavioural change. After conducting more than 100,000 assessments across every sector in Australia, one truth became clear — Traits alone don’t drive behaviour. Capability does.

The Progress Capability Platform was built on the belief that true organisational performance comes from understanding how people behave over time, particularly under pressure, in changing environments, and when stretched. 

This Peter Zarris is a leading organisational psychologist with decades of experience developing individual, team, and organisational capabilities. As a trusted coach for various high-profile senior executives in Australia, Peter’s vision was always to go beyond personality reports to build sustainable performance from the inside out.

“Progress is a capability platform that brings together leading assessment expertise, coaching methodology, and development resources in one powerful system. My goal with Progress is to help businesses and their staff unlock potential and translate insight into action.”
