CRG emPerform Partners with Management Education Group Inc.


Corporate Renaissance Group (CRG), a global provider of innovative solutions that improve business performance and increase effectiveness, announced today that it has partnered with Management Education Group Inc., an Arizona-based consulting firm that provides valuable step-by-step programs and facilitation services for public sector leaders. The alliance between the two firms stemmed from the successful execution of joint industry webinars, including ‘Conducting Painless Performance Evaluations’ which was broadcasted via HR.com in June of 2011 and attracted over 1,000 HR professionals. 

Feedback from webinar attendees and from customers made it clear that aligning both offerings would significantly increase value for existing and future customers. By leveraging individual credibility and presence in the market space, emPerform and the Management Education Group can offer HR professionals and leaders everywhere the ability to learn AND apply best-practices. 

This partnership gives customers and contacts direct access to two proven and trusted industry solutions. emPerform’s all-inclusive talent management software offers practical applications that the Management Education Group teaches to leaders; such as automated appraisals, goal alignment, succession planning, and compensation management. emPerform customers benefit from having priority access to Management Education Group’s offerings, including a direct connection to principal consultant, Marnie Green - HR leader, speaker, and award-winning author. 

“Marnie Green and the Management Education Group were an ideal fit for emPerform” said Doug Hum, Director of Marketing and Partner Relations for CRG. “Marnie is a dynamic and personable speaker whose anecdotal teaching style and experience-driven industry perspective offers audiences the chance to effortlessly grasp and apply proven leadership and management techniques. We feel it is important to align ourselves with HR thought-leaders and organizations offering complementary services and offerings – like Marnie Green and the Management Education Group. We are thrilled to offer our client base the ability to access trusted professionals who can effectively teach the applications that emPerform executes.”

“I chose to align my work with CRG emPerform because they offer an integrated talent management system that allows my clients to implement the best practices that I teach” said Marnie Green, Principal Consultant and owner of Management Education Group. “In particular, emPerform’s goal alignment feature allows individual employee goals to be directly linked to organizational strategy.  Working with emPerform enhances my ability to provide a comprehensive performance management solution to my clients.”
