We train managers to think like a CEO

So CEOs can delegate with confidence.

We train managers to think like a CEO

And help CEOs set the right goals.

Why is it so hard to get departments to work together?

In meeting after meeting, collaboration breaks down because each department speaks a different language.  This miscommunication is costly: it builds silos and it's the key reason project fail and people quit.  Everyone loses focus.  We train managers to use a standard set of terms and tools so they can work together to set strategy, make decisions--and then work together efficiently. 

Welcome to the Center

Anyone who has or aspires to a general management role will understand the importance of using standard language and tools.  This video (1:05) summarizes this breakthrough in clarity and consistency.  Find your fit: Click through Users and Decisions to see what's relevant to you.

Collaborate efficiently

Our GM's Index of Terms gets everybody speaking the same language.  It puts on one screen a simple hierarchy of management practices including definitions, discussion questions and curated resources.  It's the framework for communication, decision-making, and strategic planning.

Delegate with confidence

If everyone uses the same tools and terms, senior managers can be confident projects will be on time, on budget and yield the promised ROI.  Our GM's Toolkit holds fourteen 1-page tools that lets cross-functional teams perform--and report on--their best work.

Dependable resources and valuable connections

"I'd used the Center's Index of Terms and Toolkit for our planning, so I was looking forward to their local CEO Roundtable Intensives.  I've rarely seen 20 executives as engaged.  The Center gives us the practical tools we need and reliable resources for growth and succession." - Ed Purcell, President, Vertical Greenwalls
