Discovering How to Future-Proof Ourselves...Together
E. LaVerne Johnson
Founder, President and CEO at International Institute for Learning, Inc.
As many of our communities around the world begin a path to recovery and rebuild from the global pandemic, I am filled with many emotions. I feel concern about the future with so many unknowns, anxiety about taking care and meeting the needs of IIL’s great customers and employees around the globe, and apprehension at the necessity of reinvention for all of us and of IIL’s offerings, every minute of every day. I also mourn the heart-wrenching tragedy we are still seeing in parts of the world in which leaders thought COVID-19 was under control, so we see every day that nothing is certain when it comes to a full global recovery.
But I must say that I also feel great pride, relief, and hope that many of us are making progress toward having successfully navigated the tumultuous change of the past year. It is our profound appreciation for you—our clients, customers, partners, and all others in the global learning community—that inspires everyone at IIL to innovate and meet you where and when you want to (or can) learn.
Our deepest purpose as a global learning partner is to enable the success of individuals, teams, and organizations with high-quality, long-lasting performance results. We believe that continuous learning and adapting are perhaps the most vital skills in a forever changing world. Learning is a way to ‘future-proof’ ourselves – through building resilience, acquiring knowledge and practicing new skills. When we approach learning with an open mindset, the possibilities are endless.
Innovating and Co-Creating with our Clients
Working together we are able to create customized assessment(s), along with fresh, relevant, and easy-to-access content in innovative delivery formats.
We truly understand that where and how you want to learn, is as important as what you need to learn. When we co-create, we all win.
Learning for Resilience
The future of work is ever-changing – driven by technology, improvements and disruptions in all industries, and a post-pandemic global economy. Let’s be ready to seize the moments of opportunity, both personally and professionally. With continual and purposeful learning, we can better absorb the shock of future events and be confident of success.
In 2001, IIL was the first training organization in the industry to launch “public” live online learning solutions, which we developed immediately in response to another extremely challenging world event, 9/11. Today, IIL delivers thousands of “public” and “organization-specific” live, virtual training sessions each year. Our three global proprietary annual online conferences attract over 60,000 devoted participants and our library of hundreds of on-demand courses and micro-learning modules serve professionals when and where they choose to dedicate time to learn.
IIL’s strategic learning partnerships with PMI, APM, AXELOS/PeopleCert, APMG, BRM Institute, Scrum Alliance, Scrum.org, IIBA, DASA, and Scaled Agile allow us to efficiently and effectively deliver critically important certification prep courses to practicing professionals so they can gain the important certifications required in many organizations today.
Our Continued Commitment
This year as we celebrate 30 years of working with thousands of organizations worldwide, we reaffirm our three deepest values—INTELLIGENCE, INTEGRITY, INNOVATION—which each of our employees live by and practice every day as we serve you, our valued customers and partners.
We look forward to being your learning partner of choice in 2021 and beyond.
