I spoke with Nathan Ives, StrategyDriven Principal Contributor and co-host of the StrategyDriven Podcast recently and told me, "Right now, all of the content on the StrategyDriven website is available for free. Articles on strategic planning processes, decision-making practices, and diversity and inclusion programs are just a sampling of the free content. Bonus materials are available for free to registered users. At this point, there is no cost to sign up as a registered member. In the future, some content will be available as premium offerings, including articles, ready-to-use templates, and how-to guides, for a fee that will still be a bargain for SMB leaders wanting the benefits of running a business with the advice and expertise an experienced MBA staffer would provide without the MBA cost,” continues Ives.

The StrategyDriven.com website is chock full of free, helpful advice ranging from management and leadership to strategic planning. Complementing StrategyDriven’s published articles are over twenty podcasts; each podcast expanding on a best-practice strategy. Sign up for these free podcasts, co-hosted by Nathan Ives and Howard Dickens, aimed at helping listeners achieve better business results.  

The company will be providing video features in the first quarter of 2009.
