New Haven Consulting Group

What New Haven Consulting Group does

New Haven Consulting Group, Inc. (NHCG) is a private corporate training and consulting firm founded in 1982 and headquartered at 64 Long Meadow Hill Road, Brookfield, Connecticut. The firm delivers enterprise training across three practice areas: Leadership/Management/Supervisory Skills, Sales & Service Skills, and HR Compliance (including state-mandated sexual harassment prevention for NY, CA, CT, and IL). Customers include Fortune 1000 enterprises across pharmaceuticals (notably an unnamed Fortune 100 pharma for which NHCG delivered 650+ workshops across 30+ countries over four years), insurance (Chubb, AJ Gallagher), consumer goods (Estee Lauder, Allergan), aerospace and automotive (Boeing, Lincoln Electric, Aerojet Rocketdyne), media and technology (AOL, comScore, Yext), nonprofit and education (Ford Foundation, Rockefeller Foundation, Yale University), and government (State of Connecticut, Port Authority of NY & NJ, Washington Mass Transit).

NHCG's product surface includes a portfolio of instructor-led workshops (Managing People, The Work of Leaders, Emotional Intelligence, Coaching Millennials, Alliance Leadership Workshops, Sales & Service modules, and an HR Compliance suite), the NHCG Online University (NHCG-U) subscription platform, state-tailored Combating Sexual Harassment online courses sold via JotForm at approximately $2 per employee, and signature multi-day Action Learning Experiences at iconic venues — the Gettysburg Leadership Experience, The Leadership Experience @ Key West, the Orvis Sandanona experience, the BMW Performance Center event, and the Land Rover Off-Road experience. Delivery is enabled by the NHCG International Facilitator Registry (IFR), a proprietary network of 120+ certified facilitators operating in 50+ countries and 15+ languages, which allows the firm to deliver global engagements without a large direct headcount. NHCG holds Wiley Authorized Partner status for Everything DiSC and has co-developed workshops with Jack Mitchell ('Hug Your Customers') and LifeCourse Associates (generational/Millennial workforce).

The business model combines enterprise-quoted professional services engagements (classroom, blended, facilitation, custom program development, Action Learning Events) billed under multi-year contracts, subscription-style online learning access via NHCG-U, and transactional self-serve online compliance purchases. Go-to-market is hybrid: enterprise field sales for large engagements, self-serve online for compliance courses, and channel partnerships (Alliance Leadership, Expert Access, Wolf Management Consultants, Prime Development Solutions, Wisnes, Shullman Research Center) for referrals. Marketing is driven by the NHCG blog, SEO on nhcg.com, earned media (Forbes and Luxury Daily features in 2015), and the experiential draw of Action Learning Events themselves.
