Impact Achievement Groups Timely Solutions Fuel 2010 Growth

SEATTLE/Jan. 19, 2011 — Impact Achievement Group (IAG) enjoyed a strong 2010, continuing its aggressive growth pattern, announcing seven consecutive years of growth and profitability. The leadership development company has grown 33 percent over the last three years and added a broad range of new clients in a diverse range of private and public sector organizations.

Lee Klepinger, president of IAG, attributes the company’s growth to three main factors. The first is steady growth in IAG’s leadership and management development solutions. Second, IAG identified a hunger for and significant void of quality solutions for front line management training. Organizations typically do not allocate their training dollars to front-line supervisors, yet this is where retention and discretionary energy are most highly impacted.

Consequently, there was a hearty appetite for IAG’s Supervisory Basics series, 12 individual yet linked two-hour training modules that help new and seasoned, but untrained, managers understand the management skills and tactics required to ensure engagement and business results.

“The Supervisory Basics series provides a great foundation for new supervisors,” said Lynne Rudd, manager of Kroger General Offices Learning Services. “We have been pleased with both the format and content of the series. The materials spur stimulating discussion, and participants return to class talking about what they have done with what they learned. We’ll be using the course again this year.”

The third factor was the exponential growth of Impact Achievement Group’s assessment and coaching offerings. There has been an increasingly higher recognition among organizations that assessments play a key role in the selection, development, and succession planning processes. The use of Harrison Assessments™ Talent Solutions and the Leadership Impact Survey™ has created significant expansion of client use for selection, succession planning, and coaching.

“Impact Achievement Group’s ongoing growth is a testament to the company’s continued focus on client needs,” said Josh Bersin, chief executive officer and president, Bersin & Associates, a world-class research and consulting firm that empowers HR and learning organizations to drive bottom-line impact. “The company’s ability to deliver a wide range of high-value, customized solutions makes it a leading solution provider in the leadership development market.”

“We are encouraged by our growing base of clients, large and small,” said Klepinger. “Faced with the velocity, uncertainty, and complexity of today’s evolving business environment, we help ensure that the right people are in place and equip managers at all levels to apply sound leadership principles and skills to create a framework for engagement, loyalty, and bottom line business results.”
