Innovative Learning Group is basing this year's growth on last year's, generating a 10-percent revenue spike in 2010 and preparing for a 20-percent jump in 2011.

The business education firm added eight new clients over the last year. The downtown Royal Oak-based firm expects to leverage that additional work for a few more hires over the next year, adding to its existing staff of 10 employees and 20-30 independent contractors.

"We pretty proud of (those new clients)," says Lisa Toenniges, CEO of Innovative Learning Group. "These new clients become opportunities for return clients. That makes for more than 50 Fortune 1000 clients. That means more stability and sustainability in the long-term."

Innovative Learning Group creates a curriculum for firms to teach employees to be more productive and efficient. It has been profitable in each of its seven years. Toenniges plans to point the company more toward mobile technology development this year. The idea is the new technology will allow its clients to more easily focus on learning and performance support.

The company has also won the Human Performance Intervention Award of Excellence from the International Society for Performance Improvement last year for a project that used performance modeling and impact mapping to drive consistent, strategic performance of Amway's distributors. It also won a Brandon Hall Silver Award for Excellence in the Best Use of Blended Learning category.
