Michael Ward gets around. Around enough that he has helped his business training company, Creative Technology & Training Solutions, diversify nationally and is watching the economy pick up in places other than Michigan.
"I travel all over the U.S., so I have a good idea of the pulse of the business climate across the nation," says Ward, a senior partner with
Creative Technology & Training Solutions. "I see a big increase in interest in training services."
The Shelby Township-based business provides training in BusinessObjects, including both the reporting and administration classes. It employs about seven people and was able to make it through the latest downturn thanks to a diversified client base that spans the nation.
"I am hoping for some good steady growth this year so I can add some staff," Ward says. "It's really picking up and that's a good thing."
