 "I founded 5000LB, LLC in 1995. 5000LB is a management consulting firm specializing in business planning for small business owners. I was interested in attending a management program at a top-tier business school. CMI allowed me to rub shoulders with the best in any given industry. I was able to expand my thinking and hone the strategy of 5000LB. Chicago doesn’t teach best practices. It teaches best thinking.
Since graduating from CMI, I have used what I learned to evaluate the financial health of my company and its financial progress. I am much more focused on how we run the company, and I am better able to evaluate the management. The business has grown while we have become a leaner and more efficient organization. I find that we’re moving at a faster pace as an organization because I am more confident in the business decisions that I make regarding what opportunities we need to quickly seize upon.
There are a lot of opportunities for further learning and networking after the program ends. Graduates of CMI are invited back to the school to hear guest speakers and attend seminars and conferences held throughout the year. We also get together periodically as a group. I appreciate that the relationship with the school and the other participants extends beyond the six months the class is in session. I have built life-long relationships with the school and my other classmates."
