"Going forward" indicates a progression in time from the present and into the future. It's often used when something is changing and will affect the immediate future for a considerable amount of time. It's very common in Business English; meetings, emails, projects, and so forth. It usually prefaces the apparent change or statement. It's also quite formal in tone! Ex: Going forward, we'll no longer be serving lunch at noon. Instead it will be at 13:00. Ex: We'll be doing internal tests going forward. Ex: Going forward, I'll no longer be applying for jobs. I want to go to college instead.
