The Corporate Executive Board Company (CEB) is a commercial, for-profit, public firm that provides general best practices research, executive education, and decision support tools to organizations.

CEB has more than 50 specialized programs, each geared toward a specific corporate function. The programs are distributed across 9 larger practice areas. The practice areas roughly correspond to the seats of the executive table; for example, Finance, HR, Sales and Marketing, IT, Operations, and Legal. CEB's members pay an annual subscription in exchange for access to CEB's reports, benchmarking, Web library of best practices, rights to request research on new topics, teleconferences, and attendance at discussion-based meetings with peer executives at other member companies. The company's stock reached a high of more than $100 before falling to the mid-$50s, which was attributed to insufficient sales staff.

History

The company was founded in 1979 as the Research Council of Washington by David G. Bradley [http://www.executiveboard.com/EXBD/1,2735,0-0-Public_Display-1782-11,00.html#] . In 1997, the Corporate Executive Board was spun off from the Advisory Board Company [http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A60425-2004Jul18.html] .

In 2004, CEB employed more than 1,200 staff members spread out across four offices - Washington, DC, London, Gurgaon (New Delhi) and Tokyo. As of the summer of 2006, CEB had grown to over 2000 employees worldwide.

In 2006, CEB expanded its business to include middle market companies. Previously focusing on companies with revenues above $750 million, the new Middle Market franchise focuses on companies with smaller revenues.

In March 2007, CEB opened its first domestic offices outside of Washington, DC in San Francisco and Chicago. It has since opened an office in Sydney, Australia.

In July 2007, CEB acquired ITtoolbox, an online community of professionals who share practical information on IT topics.
