BTS acquired Strategic Management Group, an internationally recognized leadership development company for seminars, business simulations, and business development.

SMG’s mission, closely akin to BTS’s mission for the prior two decades, was to improve the business skills of management professionals and to use executive development as a tool to facilitate and implement strategic plans. SMG had worked with more than 120,000 managers and top executives in 200 of the world’s largest industrial corporations and service organizations.

Leadership programs were developed and delivered by industry-experienced instructors, alumni from the nation’s leading business schools, former learning and development managers, and award-winning instructional and software designers.
