IAD International Inc.

What IAD International Inc. does

IAD International Inc. is a corporate training and consulting firm headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, established in 1999 as the US extension of the Swedish parent IAD Svenska AB (founded 1995). The firm delivers project management, leadership, time management, and communication training to enterprise and multinational corporations, with a publicly disclosed client roster that includes IKEA, Volvo, Ericsson, Bosch, BMW, Siemens, Tetra Pak, ABB, Skanska, Maersk, and Novartis. Its core product is built around IAD Focus®, a trademarked proprietary project management methodology that anchors the curriculum and brand positioning.

The business operates as a PMI Registered Education Provider (since 1999) and runs a small team of 1-10 employees. Revenue mechanics combine open scheduled public courses with customized in-house enterprise programs, supplemented by certification preparation (PMP), agile project leadership courses, and a distance-learning format branded TM Distance. Delivery is primarily instructor-led, with PMP-certified trainers supporting the certification track.

The firm has expanded geographically into Europe, the US, Russia, and Asia, and is currently pursuing a franchise model across four US metropolitan clusters — New York/Boston, Chicago/Detroit, Denver, and San Francisco — as the primary scaling lever. The franchise push, combined with open postings for teachers, consultants, sales staff, and franchisees, signals an attempt to convert a founder-led boutique into a distributed delivery network leveraging the IAD Focus® brand and methodology.
