"Your business has committed to aggressive growth and profit goals. At the same time, you observe decisions and actions each day that lead you to ask: “How can we meet these targets -- in the face of tough competition, technological change and demanding customers -- when we think and behave as we do?”

At Impact Planning Group, we understand your concern. For 20 years we have helped organizations like yours develop the internal capabilities to create market strategies that align actions and goals. Often this assistance means marketing skill-building programs to ensure that strategies can and will be well implemented. At other times it requires action-learning or market strategy projects to develop creative solutions.

To achieve sustainable results, your organization needs superior marketing skills and rigorous planning processes. Impact Planning Group has the unique ability to help you build both these capabilities by bringing you seasoned professionals, customized tools, and a collaborative approach to deliver those results."

"The Center for Executive Development was founded by several former Harvard Business School professors. The firm's managing partners and associates have broad academic and managerial expertise in the fields of strategy, industry and competitor analysis, marketing, production and operations management, finance and accounting, organizational change, and business and government.

Strictly speaking, CED is not in the training business. Instead, the firm serves companies that utilize executive education as a strategic tool for enhancing competitiveness, changing cultures, and developing organizational capabilities. CED works with its clients to provide the analytical frameworks, practical tools, and intellectual honesty necessary to extract insight from information and to create dynamic, learning organizations.

Among its capabilities, CED specializes in the development of customized action learning materials for its clients. In particular, CED has the expertise and experience to develop case studies, exercises, and simulations that focus on the key strategic and operating issues of a firm and specific business units. And CED's world-class faculty delivers these materials to senior and middle management as a catalyst to a focused change and development process.

For more information about CED and the work it does with Strategic Play, contact Frank V. Cespedes, Managing Partner."
