Our Story

Founded by CEO E. LaVerne Johnson, International Institute for Learning is a leading training and corporate solutions firm with headquarters in New York City and wholly-owned operating companies located strategically around the world.

Ms. Johnson launched IIL in 1991 with a vision to provide the highest quality training and business solutions to firms, governments, and nonprofits who seek increased operational efficiency and effectiveness.

Recognizing the tremendous potential of project, program and portfolio management (PPPM) to accomplish that goal, she anchored IIL around PPPM and related disciplines such as Business Agility, Business Analysis, Leadership, Business Relationship Management, Lean Six Sigma, IT Service Management, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI), and Sustainability —a focus that remains with IIL today.

One of the first training organizations in the industry to launch live online learning solutions beginning in 2001, IIL today delivers live, virtual training and three global proprietary annual online conferences, attracting professionals, learners, and organizations from around the globe.
