LeapFrog Solutions Participates in NVTC Study on Leadership and Change


LeapFrog Solutions was one of more than 70 companies that participated in a study on leadership and change sponsored by the Northern Virginia Technology Council. The study concluded that change, driven by technological advances, customer shifts and economic uncertainty, is disruptive and will continue. Respondents also noted that companies are leveraging change to create strategic business opportunities. “The government market has opened up,” said Lisa Martin, president and CEO of LeapFrog Solutions. “There are new opportunities for small business that were not possible before. Organizations with a sound infrastructure, track record and customer focus can capture these opportunities.” Finally, the study showed that companies must have the right talent pipeline to be successful. “A key ingredient to successfully expanding our company is having employees with a deep pride in what we do,” Lisa said. “I believe in building a workforce that is team-oriented, customer-centric, flexible, hardworking and entrepreneurial.” The complete study can be found here.

LeapFrog Solutions Nominated for Blue Diamond Award


Each year, the Fairfax County Chamber of Commerce nominates companies and individuals who have demonstrated a commitment to the community. This year, we were proud to be nominated for the prestigious Blue Diamond Award in recognition for our work with The American Red Cross, The Greater Washington Sports Alliance, Life With Cancer, and with The Fairfax County Chamber of Commerce. Over the course of the past year we have worked with each of these organizations individually to help them achieve their goals. The 80 page bid book which we created for the Greater Washington Sports Alliance helped win them the bid for the 2012 Fire and Police Games! Another great organization that we are associated with is Life With Cancer at Inova Fairfax Hospital. The Life With Cancer House is a refuge for cancer patients, survivors and their families. As part of our work, we donated funds that were used to purchase and stock a tropical fish tank up in the children’s area and we are working with the staff to identify other projects where we can contribute our talents. For more information on Life With Cancer, please visit their website .

We look forward to more work within the Washington metropolitan community and were very honored to be recognized with all of the other very deserving nominees.
