About CBSD

History

The Center for Business Skills Development – CBSD/Thunderbird Russia – was one of the first companies to offer personnel development services in the Russian market. US West and USAID founded CBSD in late 1994 with the goal of bringing Western business education to Russia. In October 1996, CBSD became part of the Thunderbird School of Global Management, a globally recognized leader in international business education.

Throughout its 16 year history, CBSD has been at the forefront of personnel development in Russia, working with global partners, such as the Thunderbird School of Global Management, World at Work, Becker, Eagle's Flight, and FGI International, and innovative teaching methods to bring clients the best means for improving the way they manage their business.

CBSD Now

CBSD has been operating in Russia for a long time, but like most successful businesses, we change our approach to personnel development to suit the current environment. We see the changes occurring in domestic and global business markets, understand how businesses are affected by an increasingly competitive and global economy, and react accordingly.

It is our goal now and in the future to work with businesses to create a long-term, customized solutions to their individual business needs. Now is the time to take advantage of the changing, fast-paced, and progressively international world of business. We have made it our job to help your business find and seize opportunities by working with you to develop an efficient and highly-trained staff that is up to taking on the distinct challenges of working in your particular market.

"The quality of client service is the main purpose and value of CBSD. It is what we work for every day..."
