The Founder’s Tour is a seven-minute, mini documentary providing an overview and insight into the inner-workings of the The History Factory—the place, the processes—and the Founder & CEO, Bruce Weindruch.
In 1979, The History Factory coined the term heritage management to describe its pioneering application of established historical and archival principles to address the most competitive aspects of business. At the time, the concepts of “applied history” and “archival outsourcing” were controversial in academic circles. But the quantifiable returns we delivered for our early clients—many of whom were the most admired companies in the world—only reinforced our confidence in the validity of heritage as a legitimate management tool.
At The History Factory, we don’t believe that status quo is an option. Over the past 30 years, we have adapted new business models and built new skill sets. What will never change, however, is our adherence to academic rigor and integrity while pushing boundaries to create the most highly innovative applications of heritage to meet business challenges.
At the heart of The History Factory’s creativity and client service are our people. Our corporate culture is highly conducive to academics who think like business people, and business people who think like academics. Our staff includes accomplished business people, communicators, archivists, historians, curators, editors, and designers who seek the challenge and satisfaction of a results and substance-oriented organization.
The History Factory believes that the world's most competitive enterprises share our appreciation for the past—and its value and relevance to their future. We are extremely proud that heritage management is now a widely recognized and accepted resource for leveraging the collective memory of organizations—the stories told, the words used, and their commonly understood meanings—to help implement strategies and tactics that shape the future.
