People love to achieve great things together. We train and coach managers in cross-functional work, so everyone can succeed.

People and organizations can't fulfill their big goals until every department is working together.  Generalists use management's standard terms and tools to open communications and break down silos. They then focus everyone on sales, customer satisfaction, productivity, retention and quality (listen to executives prove the value). It's the path to the top job.

Collaborate effectively

Our GMs Index of Terms is the universal language of management.  It puts on one screen simple definitions and approved best practices.  It lets everyone understand and appreciate each other's contribution, breaking down silos and accelerating decision-making.  It's free.  Video

Delegate with confidence

Our GMs Toolkit holds 14 tested 1-page tools that lets cross-functional teams perform and report on their best work.  If everyone uses the same tools, terms and practices, executives can be confident projects will be on time, on budget and yield the promised ROI.  It's empowering.

"I'd used the Center's Index and Toolkit for planning, so I looked forward to their CEO Roundtable Intensives. I've rarely seen 20 executives as engaged. The Center has the content and contacts I need for growth." - Ed Purcell, President, Vertical Greenwalls
