Most businesses don't live to see three years. Many more don't make it to five years. Innovative Learning Group is celebrating birthday No. 10 this month.
The downtown Royal Oak-based firm doesn’t dwell on what has changed over the last decade. Its team of 13 people focus on what has stayed the same in that time: "Our great culture and focus on clients," says Lisa Toenniges, CEO of
Innovative Learning Group. "What happened over the last 10 years is we managed to keep pace with technology as it changed."
Innovative Learning Group is a business consultancy that specializes in training and human performance improvement for businesses. It develops learning strategies, curriculum architectures, and implements/evaluates these learning solutions. The firm has done this primarily with digital solutions and it is pivoting its services more toward the mobile realm in 2014.
"What we always care about is steady, profitable growth," Toenniges says. "We aim for 15 percent year over year."
That has allowed Innovative Learning Group to hire two people in January. Those new jobs are in performance consulting and media development.
"Over the coming year we will probably hire several people," Toenniges says.
