Founded in 1981 by Ned Herrmann, this family business provides training, development and performance improvement products and services to many Fortune 500 businesses. The international company, located in Lake Lure, NC has planned a year-long celebration with clients, community and staff throughout 2006. The company is using a specially designed 25th anniversary logo and held a celebration dinner experience at fellow FBF member Chimney Rock Park, as part of the company’s recent customer conference held in April. A community and staff celebration is in the planning stages for fall.

In addition, each month the company is releasing resources to delight and help clients be more successful using Herrmann’s core product the HBDI™ (Herrmann Brain Dominance Instrument). Several of the releases have been in honor and remembrance of founder Ned Herrmann, deceased 1999, author of “The Creative Brain” and “The Whole Brain Business” book. An un-published book chapter and some of Mr. Herrmann’s favorite insights about the brain are a few examples of the releases. Current CEO, Ann Herrmann-Nehdi is working on a new book to be released in early 2007 as another commemorative contribution. More information on the 25th anniversary celebration can be found under Resources in Articles.
