Impact Achievement Group Introduces eStudy Groups(TM) Distributed Learning for Developing Performance-Driven Leadership

  Flexible, Distributed Leadership Training for Employee Performance
                              Management
SEATTLE--(Business Wire)--Impact Achievement Group, Inc. announced the availability of
eStudyGroups, a series of blended, distributed training sessions that
focus on the key competencies of performance management.

   The eStudyGroups integrate the company's Performance Advantage
SimSeries(TM) program of self-paced tutorials and simulations. The
topic areas include Principles of Effective Leadership, Performance
Based Management(TM), Performance Based Coaching(TM), Managing
Workplace Discussions(TM), and Performance Problem Discussions.(TM)

   With eStudyGroup, following their completion of each self-study
SimSeries topic, up to five participants engage in a conference call
with a certified facilitator to discuss key learning points, expand on
the application in their role, and take part in Q&A opportunities.

   "The eStudyGroup solution provides a great resource for leadership
development among our customers, and is generating a lot of interest,"
said Lee Klepinger, president and chief executive officer. "Companies
typically have a handful of managers who are geographically
distributed or can't attend our core instructor-led workshops at a
central location. The eStudy Group approach elegantly solves that
problem, in addition to reinforcement of on-site training."

   The eStudyGroup package provides participants with the Performance
Advantage SimSeries(TM) training programs. The SimSeries' CD or
web-based, highly interactive learning environment engages
participants with choice-based content, case studies, activities, and
tests, plus interactive voice-based simulation drills. All elements
are designed to ensure comprehension and mastery of the most critical
leadership skills for managing employee performance.

   Afterwards, study group participants receive training in the
facilitator-led call to further reinforce the SimSeries topic.
Customers benefit by blending both self-directed learning and
instructor-led training available for small groups that need focused
development, executive teams needing to align concepts, language and
models developed with their front line and middle managers, and to
reinforce and continue learning among those managers attending the
full onsite workshops.
