The Institute harnesses the very latest thinking to research the key factors that build high organizational performance, and seeks to answer three fundamental questions:
  1. What are the factors that create high organizational performance?
  2. How do those factors interact with and moderate each other?
  3. How can organizations strengthen those factors to build high performance?
