LBL Strategies, Ltd began in the 1980's delivering the Certificate in Business Administration (CBA) at DePaul University and the University of Illinois – Chicago. In time, opportunities surfaced to help senior executives going through the program with strategic planning for their organizations.

We have extensive experience engaging in complex strategic management projects with clients here in Chicago and nationally / internationally in private, public and government sectors.

Our customer value proposition grows out of more than 35 years of experience in helping organizations focus, make better decisions and grow by instilling the ability to think and act strategically.

The field of strategy management continues to gain wider acceptance within organizations in public, private and non-profit settings. As pioneering leaders in strategic management, we stay on top of practical developments in the field, adding new principles to our training and consulting services. A strategic planning process and the resulting plan are of little value unless the plan is fully executed. This can only be realized by maintaining clear alignment between the priorities set forth in the plan and day-to-day activities. To that end, we will strive to help your team build strategic management competencies to successfully execute your plan.

Regardless of your circumstances, we offer a program delivery method that works for you. In the current environment, we believe that offering a variety of training methods to fit your needs is key. For that reason, we offer both synchronous and asynchronous online learning opportunities in addition to our in-person programs.
