The Ken Blanchard Companies ®, is a family-owned firm, founded by Drs. Ken and Marjorie Blanchard. Incorporated in 1979, the organization is based on three simple goals—to make a difference in people’s lives, to drive human worth and effectiveness in the workplace, and to help each organization we work with become the provider, employer, and investment of choice.

At Blanchard, we believe that everyone deserves to have a great manager. As a leadership training and development company for more than 40 years, we’ve been training millions of the world’s best managers…managers who know how to bring out the best in their people, create great places to work, and deliver real bottom-line results for their organizations.

Blanchard has been recognized as one of the best places to work in San Diego for seven years running. We put our leadership models and management training into practice every day with our more than 300 employees around the world. We know that our employees are the foundation of our success, and we are committed to providing a workplace that allows them to contribute their talents and feel valued with careers that make an impact on our world.
