Investors In Excellence
Investment in Excellence is The Pacific Institute’s powerful flagship curricula, delivering the tools for growth and change in a variety of media formats. Containing enhanced information on how personal beliefs and attitudes affect an organization’s culture, Lou Tice teaches to the whole person, presenting how the curriculum concepts affect not only the individual, but the family, workplace, community, nation and the world.
Based on the results of current research in the cognitive sciences, Investment in Excellence addresses the very foundation of all change processes… the human mind. Promoting self-examination and reflection, IIE illuminates areas where we may be holding ourselves back. It provides easy-to-understand and easy-to-implement tools to change attitudes and beliefs, which immediately reflect in greater results and higher performance.
Participants gain real insights into areas of personal, professional and organizational growth opportunities through professionally facilitated study and discussion with others. The facilitation process is designed to reinforce curriculum concepts and to practice using the tools so critical to sustainable Peak Performance.
Investment in Excellence goes to the very core of quality improvement, performance enhancement and employee engagement ñ effective human thinking skills. It assists in creating a constructive culture with a common language, a creative environment, as well as a renewed sense of accountability and an interest in positive contribution, whether that is at home or at work. Processes already in place will be enhanced by effective thinking by the individual, which is reflected in attitudes and behaviors aligned with the results desired by the organization.
People are the cornerstone of all success, and for over thirty years, IIE has been helping individuals and organizations lift their aspirations, their confidence and their performance. It is a powerful development experience that enables individuals and organizations to achieve much more of their potential by changing their perception of what is possible, and then providing the skills to cause a change in what they actually accomplish.
How does it work?
IIE engages individuals professionally and personally, giving a new perspective to both their jobs and their lives. The program equips participants with a set of tools to develop their thinking skills and qualities as individuals and team members. Facilitated seminars are combined with periods of self-evaluation and supported by engaging interactive learning materials. In organizations, we build strong internal capacity in individuals and teams to use the IIE tools to confront key issues in an ongoing, measurable way.
Improved organizational outcomes
Once the groundwork has been laid in the area of personal effectiveness, areas such as leadership effectiveness, change management, building effective cultures and innovation can be transformed as well.
Scientifically validated
IIE is based on scientifically tested principles from the world of cognitive psychology, particularly the psychology of high performing individuals and teams. Our relationship with leading psychologists such as Prof Martin Seligman, Dr. Gary Latham, and Dr. Albert Bandura means that the effectiveness of the programme is continuously updated.
What can you expect
After participating in the programme, individuals have greater expectations of success and higher self-efficacy. They are more willing to challenge the status quo, and to provide inspiring and inclusive leadership. After an implementation, our clients see higher levels of motivation:
• more commitment to organizational goals

• better team functioning
• improved problem-solving and innovation
As part of an integrated solution, IIE will transform your people, your way of working, and your results.
