Management Through Applied Planning®

CED understands how business education can impact success and translates that knowledge through the educational methodology of Management through Applied Planning® or MAPP, a proven step-by-step business planning process. MAPP enables companies to look forward and grow while retaining a critical focus on day-to-day issues.

Our methodology consists of a weekend class schedule - Friday and Saturday - over a period of 8 alternating weekends. At the end of the CBAP, each company will have created their own written strategic plan for immediate growth and improvement.
