The Institute aims to achieve its goals through relevant development (including digital-based material), research, and learning programs. Moreover, the Institute does not work alone. It is privileged to collaborate with development partners and corporate sponsors around the world.

The Institute's academic development partners include such highly regarded academic institutions as the William Davidson Faculty of Industrial Engineering and Management at the Technion Institute in Haifa, Israel, and London Business School. At London Business School the Institute works closely with the newly formed i:Lab, and we are pleased that i:Lab's New York City operations are housed in the Institute's facilities at 55 Broad Street in Manhattan.

The Institute also collaborates intensively with forward-thinking firms and values its close relationship with industry. Corporate Sponsors of the Institute include such leaders in their respective sectors as Merrill Lynch and EDS.
