Letter from the CEO

As IIL enters our 20th year of doing business, the global marketplace is in a profound state of flux. While companies and individuals are still feeling the effects of the financial crisis, new opportunities are beginning to arise, and there is an increased demand for effective leadership and project management excellence.

We know that now more than ever, you need a lot from your learning solution provider: personalized attention, best-in-class instructors, a rich curriculum and an array of training methodologies. At IIL, we also have a dedicated team of content and course development specialists whose goal – and passion – is to transform learning into results. As industry leaders in customized course development, we partner with our clients to provide learning solutions that translate seamlessly into the workplace and capture more than the original intent.

Three key values define the IIL brand and guide us in all that we do: Intelligence, Integrity and Innovation. We pride ourselves in creating customer loyalty and building relationships with individuals and organizations that last a lifetime. From your first point of contact with us, we work with you to assess your training needs and help you choose a course or design a curriculum that meets your business needs and learning preferences.

This year, we have expanded our Many Methods of Learning™ with the addition of cutting-edge simulation training. PoleStar™ PM Simulation and PoleStar™ ITSM Simulation are two new courses that incorporate proven learning theory with computer technology and game-based simulation to deliver a high-impact, holistic learning experience. We can also integrate simulation training into many of our other courses, accelerating your understanding with hands-on interactivity within the context of a fast-paced fictional business.

In response to our customers’ needs, we have also broadened our Virtual Classroom portfolio, increased our offering of free webinars and resources and added more than 20 new courses, as well as new certifications and certificate programs. In 2009, we earned Accredited Training Organization (ATO) status for PRINCE2® and ITIL®, and we are very pleased to include more courses in these and other APMG certifications.

I invite you to explore our website and take a look at our wide selection of courses, products and services. Learn more about our network of wholly-owned IIL companies strategically located all over the world.
