Our Global Learning Resource Network (GLRN) draws on a pool of over 3,000 educators from 25 different countries.  More than 800 educators have taught in our programs to date. 

Revenue for our fiscal year ending June 2009 was US$56 Million

We have delivered custom programs at numerous sites in 62 different countries across six continents.  They may be small or very large in scale, in many iterations, in several languages, covering a few to thousands of participants, with complex logistical requirements.  Our educator network and our affiliations with universities provide our clients with both a local deliverable and global consistency. 

We empower our clients to implement their strategy through development of their people.  Put another way, we develop individuals within the context of building the organization’s capabilities, focusing education on what a company’s people need to know, do, and believe in order to address real-world challenges and attain specific business objectives.
