WORLD INSTITUTE OF SCIENTOLOGY ENTERPRISES
(WISE)
Home Page
If Scientologists are to survive this
world, L. Ron Hubbard explained, they must
see to the survival of all men. They must
dedicate themselves to the eradication of
injustice, constantly work to raise levels
of ethics and restore sanity in all
sectors of society.
Although members of the World Institute
of Scientology Enterprises (“WISE”)
represent a diverse group – from
presidents of advertising companies to
owners of auto repair shops – each has
discovered a vital fact: the principles
and techniques of organizational
administration that L. Ron Hubbard
developed for churches of Scientology
could be adopted to run their own
organizations – whether a Boy Scout troop,
governmental agency or industrial giant –
with phenomenal results. And because this
philosophy and technology of
administration reflects Mr. Hubbard’s
strict standards of ethical conduct, they
found out that, along with unparalleled
successes, their workplaces had become
havens of stability, sanity and ethics.
WISE plays a pivotal role in bringing
this about. Originally formed as a
fellowship of Scientologist businessmen
and women, WISE now also is the entity
responsible for making Mr. Hubbard’s
administrative technology available to the
business community. By functioning as an
autonomous corporation separate and apart
from churches of Scientology, WISE
insulates them from activities that do not
belong in a church and would distract
staff from their real purpose – the
ministry of Scientology.
WISE accomplishes its goal through a
variety of activities. It authorizes use
of symbols and copyrighted works relating
to Mr. Hubbard’s administrative technology
by individuals who want to use them in
teaching business administration to others
or in consulting with other businesses. It
helps its members resolve business
disputes they may be involved in by
providing them the mechanism for applying
the principles and techniques of the
Scientology system of ethics and justice.
And WISE stands ready at any time to
answer questions businessmen and women may
have as to the many ways in which they can
benefit from Mr. Hubbard’s discoveries.
WISE: ENABLING GROUPS TO FLOURISH AND
PROSPER
Until Dianetics and Scientology, no one
knew the principles of a successful group
any more than they knew the principles of
the human mind.
Recognizing that what all too often
passes for life in the modern workplace is
endless drudgery, inefficiency, insecurity
and bureaucratic entanglements,
individuals began to utilize the same
administrative principles L. Ron Hubbard
developed for use in Scientology churches
to improve their own businesses,
organizations, groups and even their
personal lives.
Their reasoning was simple: As Mr.
Hubbard’s administrative policies are
based on natural laws of life and living,
they certainly could be applied to bring
sanity, stability and expansion to any
organization outside of the Church. Why,
for example, must any individual suffer
sleepless nights worrying about the future
of their business or favorite club or
other organization when Mr. Hubbard has so
plainly outlined practical means of
survival in any group endeavor?
Why, too, must anyone – employee,
executive or volunteer – suffer from
continual infighting, backbiting and
day-to-day duress when Mr. Hubbard so
precisely lays out rules for group
harmony? Moreover, many had long been
utilizing principles from such Scientology
books as The Problems of Work to help
resolve problems in group and work
situations. Some even compiled their own
manuals using some of Mr. Hubbard’s
material for use in training their
employees, while others used what they
knew to assist colleagues.
MAKING THE TECHNOLOGY AVAILABLE
WISE was formed in 1979 as a religious
fellowship organization of businesspersons
and professionals in numerous fields who
share a common certainty of the value of
Mr. Hubbard’s administrative technology.
Their tools, available in many
bookstores and public libraries, are the
twelve encyclopedia-sized volumes
comprising the Organization Executive
Course (OEC®) and Management Series
volumes. This body of work addresses the
subject of life in a group with the same
thoroughness and attention to fundamental
truths as Mr. Hubbard’s writings on
Scientology address the life of an
individual. Thus, just as Dianetics and
Scientology opened the way to an
understanding of the mind and the spirit,
the OEC volumes lead to an understanding
of just what comprises a successful group.
Be it a local civic group or the largest
government agency, with the principles
contained in the OEC, one can turn any
group into a productive, smooth-running
and expanding concern.
These volumes contain practical
knowledge in all areas of organizational
administration, structure and management.
With their principles, one can solve
problems ranging from the hiring of a
secretary to the implementation of
multinational corporate plans. Similarly,
by employing the principles contained in
the organizing board Mr. Hubbard
developed, one can remarkably streamline
all aspects of operation and make it
productive. The fundamentals of the
organizing board apply equally well to a
business of either ten or ten thousand; in
fact, with the application of the data in
even a single volume, any group or
personal activity can be immediately
bettered.
Simply put, this technology encompasses
the basic laws needed to succeed in any
endeavor in any zone of application. No
wonder then that individuals regularly use
this technology not only in their careers
but also their personal lives. With such
knowledge so readily available, it was
only natural that businessmen and
professionals would begin implementing
these discoveries to better relationships
within their fields of practice and with
their friends and families. Today, this
technology is utilized with excellent
results by tens of thousands of
individuals, groups and organizations. Its
use results in increased survival and
well-being, allowing any group to flourish
and prosper.
THE BENEFITS OF MEMBERSHIP
The offices of WISE International, located
in Los Angeles.
WISE members share a keen interest in L.
Ron Hubbard’s administrative technology,
and through WISE they are able to reach
others who share that interest and discuss
projects and matters of mutual concern.
WISE holds regular conventions and
seminars during which members can get
together and learn new methods of applying
in their own businesses or professions the
principles and techniques of
organizational administration that Mr.
Hubbard discovered. WISE also distributes
newsletters and other publications to its
members to keep them informed about
current news and upcoming events involving
subjects as diverse as management by
conditions, personnel and ethics in
business.
But WISE provides its members with
other benefits as well, including several
that have had a beneficial impact on the
business community in general. For
example, while many WISE members employ
the administrative principles solely
within their own business or profession,
some study Mr. Hubbard’s administrative
breakthroughs and want to show others how
they too can benefit from this technology.
To do so, they must be licensed by WISE so
they can use Mr. Hubbard’s name and the
other words and symbols associated with
his administrative technology.
WISE’s licensing function is critically
important for ensuring the integrity of
these trade and service marks. By
licensing only qualified individuals and
organizations, WISE helps safeguard
against offbeat activities or the
publication of altered versions held out
to be Mr. Hubbard’s true technology.
Because of WISE’s oversight, the business
community can be more assured of both the
competence and high ethical standing of
anyone offering business services under
these marks. They know, for example, that
any WISE-licensed consultant has completed
a course of study in administrative
technology and is skilled in helping
others apply it.
A membership card for WISE International.
WISE itself does no consulting. But
individual WISE members who are
professional consultants can produce
spectacular results when called to help.
They have rightly earned a reputation for
their ability to resolve situations that
others, lacking their know-how, have been
unable to crack. For the technology they
have at their fingertips can correct even
the most difficult organizational
problems.
Another benefit WISE provides its
members arises through its issue authority
function. This authorizes educators,
consultants, businesses and other
organizations to publish (or “issue”)
training material containing Mr. Hubbard’s
copyrighted works. Many WISE members want
to publish passages from Mr. Hubbard’s
writings and recorded lectures on
organizational administration in materials
they use in training their own personnel
or personnel of other companies, or in
providing business management consulting
services. These members will incorporate
Mr. Hubbard’s quotations in textbooks and
other materials that they specially adapt
to businesses or specific industries. WISE
serves as the central authority which
permits such use and – of equal importance
– ensures that the material as published
is consistent with Mr. Hubbard’s writings.
THE WISE MEMBER CHARTER COMMITTEE
WISE helps its members maintain high
ethical standards by sponsoring local
Charter Committees, composed of ethical
WISE members, known as Charter members.
These committees help create a more
ethical business environment by applying
Mr. Hubbard’s ethics technology.
Charter Committees are responsible for
assisting WISE members in their
communities to resolve business disputes
that may have arisen between them and
other WISE members, or even individuals
who are not members of WISE. By applying
Mr. Hubbard’s ethics technology to mediate
and resolve these disputes, Charter
Committees rapidly and fairly dispose of
conflicts that otherwise would languish
for years – at great cost – in the
“normal” legal system. And unlike the
parties in a “normal” legal proceeding,
both sides in a Charter Committee
dispute-resolution proceeding are
satisfied with the outcome of their case.
As one WISE member reported: “The
thought of a mediation used to cause me to
sweat cold bullets . . . Then I got a
dispute handling from WISE. The results
were amazing. And yes, I felt much better
afterwards. But the real bonus was the end
result – fairness. Both parties had to
confront their own responsibility in the
matter and the ethics of the situation was
taken into account, not just the
technicalities of some obscure law.”
The owners of two large European
companies engaged for nearly a decade in a
corporate dispute, then met with a WISE
Charter Committee mediator,
specialist-trained in the application of
the ethics technology. He brought the two
parties, step by step, to a level of
agreement and communication from which
they could, with finality, work out their
own resolution.
One of the former disputants reported,
“To anyone who may be convinced that he
has the most flagrant dispute ever – and
that it cannot be solved – believe me,
there is a way out. And the way out is:
standard application of Mr. Hubbard’s
technology through standard WISE
mediation.”
The other told of his experience: “Over
the past couple of days, I have been
involved in the resolution of a
nine-year-old conflict that has caused
tremendous upset. This is now fully
handled and, by the use of L. Ron Hubbard
administrative and ethics policy, I have
gained a better understanding of how a
conflict can occur, and how I – being
responsible no matter what – can end it.”

THE HUBBARD COLLEGE OF ADMINISTRATION
Because so many public and private sector
administrators now use Mr. Hubbard’s
technology, WISE has established the
Hubbard College of Administration, a
degree-granting institution with a
two-year curriculum, to provide the public
with the knowledge and techniques they
need to tackle every possible challenge
that can be encountered in administering
and running any group, company or
organization.
Whether one is learning specific tools to
apply to his or her own organization or
studying to become a consultant to help
others, the Hubbard College provides the
highest caliber of training in L. Ron
Hubbard’s administrative technology.
The curriculum at the Hubbard College
is arranged so that even the novice can
rapidly grasp the basics and move on to
more advanced training within a very short
period of time. Hubbard College courses
may be taken on either a full-time or
part-time basis.
Every new student at the Hubbard
College initially spends time with an
adviser to clarify the purpose of his or
her study. Then an individualized program
is developed with the focus on taking
courses that present the administrative
technology that will be most helpful to
him. Graduates routinely experience
increased production, reduced stress,
streamlined organization, bettered
management/staff relations and heightened
ethical levels amongst employees.
Hubbard Colleges of Administration
worldwide offer the highest caliber
training in the management technology of
L. Ron Hubbard.
For example, one of the most popular
courses at the Hubbard College, the
Elementary Data Series Evaluator Course,
provides a comprehensive approach to
undesirable group situations and teaches
the student to apply Mr. Hubbard’s
discoveries in the field of logic to
resolve these. Through this course, the
business professional or consultant can
expertly see beyond the “apparent” reasons
for a problem and zero in on the true
underlying source of the decline or
difficulty.
The Hubbard College also offers
specialist courses covering such subjects
as:
More information about the Hubbard College
of Administration – including case studies
of companies, photographs and maps of
College locations, and an on-line study
materials catalog – is available on the

DELIVERING LIFE-CHANGING RESULTS
Through courses in L. Ron HubbardTM
administrative technology, one can learn
the organizational know-how to completely
reverse any downtrend in life and
successfully manage any group endeavor.
Some 40,000 of these specialist courses
had been given by the late 1990s. And
successes reached far beyond business and
professional applications. Many of the
College’s course graduates report that, as
a result of the organizational know-how
they have gained, other areas of their
life improve as well – they have a more
positive overall outlook, salvaged
marriages, happier family life, and have
achieved many of the personal goals they
have been striving for.
As stated by one executive, “I can
honestly say that L. Ron Hubbard’s
organizational material has made a
profound difference in the employees and
my company – not only adding great value
to our business, but also to our personal
lives.”
Worldwide availability of this
extraordinary technology became a reality
in the 1990s when the Hubbard College
expanded behind the former iron curtain.
As reported by one recent graduate, the
general director of a Fortune 500
company’s subsidiary in Russia: “I would
like to express my respect and
compliments, and say it is an honor to
write this in appreciation of your
personal efforts, and those of your
colleagues of Hubbard College of
Administration, who shared their knowledge
and experience so generously with us. Your
supervisors led us by the example of their
professionalism to new heights of
experience in business ... The
introduction of the elements of Hubbard
technology yielded positive results, no
question about it.”
WHY IS WISE IMPORTANT?
For all the talk of fortunes made on Wall
Street, of how we are better off now than
four years ago and other such statements
which paint a generally rosy economic
picture, the realities faced by millions
give less cause for optimism. The grim
realities include (depending upon where
you live) inflation, recession, lowered
productivity, imbalance of trade,
bankruptcy, national debts, strikes,
unemployment, poverty and want. And these
well-known symptoms of economic
instability are actually indicators of a
much deeper problem: a crippling lack of
administrative know-how. If today’s
businesses and governments could grasp and
competently apply the basic principles of
organization and administration, they
would enact workable solutions to end
social and economic chaos rather than
perpetuate it. Increased survival on the
third and fourth dynamics would inevitably
result.
Instilling the workable technology of
administration into a society which is
suffering from a severe lack of workable
management tools is a mammoth task. And
viewed against the background of
boom-and-bust economics and unstable
societal and governmental structures, the
urgency of the situation is even more
apparent.
WISE offers the hope of improvement.
Its members bring sanity and order into
the business community. In fact, every
WISE member is a point of stability that
reduces confusion in this uncertain world.
Businesses can prosper, governments can
rule wisely and populations can live
without economic duress. With L. Ron
Hubbard’s administrative technology, the
goals that have evaded society for so long
are within reach.

THE WORKABILITY OF L. RON HUBBARDTM
ADMINISTRATIVE TECHNOLOGY
Robert Goldscheider, a management
consultant for thirty-three years, has
been special counsel to multinational
corporations, the UN Industrial
Development Organization and the World
Intellectual Property Organization. He
observed the application of Mr. Hubbard’s
administrative technology in the business
world.
“Having had a firsthand opportunity to
delve rather deeply into the
administrative writings of L. Ron Hubbard,
I am impressed. The technology is infused
with common sense and practicality.
“Particular aspects, proven to be
successful at all levels of the
corporations I visited and analyzed,
include:
“AVAILABILITY – The entire body of his
administrative technology is carefully
recorded in bound volumes, indexed and
cross-referenced by title, subject and
date. This affords a stability at all
levels where corporate executive and staff
alike can become acquainted with policy
and cooperate as a group.
“THE ORG BOARD – The organizing board
pattern is an innovative discovery which
can be adapted to accommodate a large
multipurpose corporation or customized to
the needs, purposes and strategies of a
particular organization.
“MANAGEMENT BY STATISTICS – A carefully
organized reporting system, broken down to
quantify and qualify virtually every
aspect of operations relevant for
sensitive management control. The ability
to react very promptly to developments is
one of the attributes of LRH
administrative technologies, and is
perhaps the key reason they have been
successfully applied so consistently.
“INDIVIDUALITY – The techniques and
systems developed to choose the correct
personnel for a job, and how to train and
stabilize them to perform their functions,
has never before been so well described or
completely delineated.
“In my opinion, the management
technologies of L. Ron Hubbard superbly
take into account long-run policies and
daily needs of modern business and
administrative operations. If the MBA
products of our most eminent business
schools had measured up to these standards
in the past decade, I doubt that the
American and world economics would be in
their current disarray.
“I know of no other body of
administrative laws and methods which is
as complete, as workable and as broadly
applicable as Mr. Hubbard’s. His
philosophy of organizational know-how and
his lucid explanations for its application
deserve wide use in industry, commercial
enterprises and government.”

International Licensing Network, Ltd.,

SUCCESSFUL APPLICATION
Tens of thousands of WISE members – from
every strata of organization – not only
benefit from the solutions found in L. Ron
HubbardTM administrative technology, but
affect the productivity of countless more
around them. Here are some of the
testimonials received daily by WISE
offices throughout the world.
I have operated a company for the last
twenty years which is a large complex of
property and businesses in southern
California. The major business is a
500-seat restaurant which has been
operating for twenty-five years. In
addition, there are 47 apartment units, a
40-room hotel and a private club on the
property.
Although the restaurant has always done
well, the efficiency with which it was
operated resulted in slow growth and
little profit. I, with my staff of 1320
managers and employees, began working with
and using the organizational technology of
L. Ron Hubbard and this has done more in
the last eleven months than the twenty
years before to make the restaurant an
efficient, effective and profitable
organization. In my opinion, no other
investment could have come close to that
performance. Sales for the eleven months I
have worked with LRH technology were up 14
percent. Profits for the same period are
up 67 percent and the effect of many of
the efficiency measures are just beginning
to be felt. In fact in the last month, the
sales were up 19.8 percent...
Most significant, formerly stagnating,
uninspired managers are now excited,
motivated and effective beyond what I ever
thought them capable. This has indeed been
a miracle.
Vice President of Operations,
Restaurant/Business Complex
My two businesses were losing money for
five straight months. Our financial
situation was grim and I knew that if we
didn’t turn the situation around soon, we
would lose our restaurants.
I started studying L. Ron Hubbard’s
administrative and managerial technology.
There wasn’t a whole lot I could do to
turn things around. I was depending on
other people, and they were failing me.
I’ll let the results speak for
themselves: For the first five months of
the year we lost a lot of money. In the
following three months (after studying LRH
administrative tools) our sales volume
increased by a total of 135.7 percent and
our total net profit, year to date, was
considerable. (More than the last three
years’ profits combined.) Not only did we
make up the loss, but exceeded it and
became profitable right away (we even made
this profit after we took out money for
extensive renovations)!
Owner, Franchised Restaurant Chain
Our industry was really undergoing a
big shake-out. Businesses similar to mine
were going under at a very fast rate.
Those that weren’t going under were
struggling.
LRH management tools helped me to predict
the future trends of my industry and to
find out what was really needed and wanted
by my customers and my vendors. We were
able to then restructure and implement
plans to respond effectively to the
changes coming down. As a result of really
knowing where things were going, I was
able to get out in front and lay the track
to create my own future.
In the first year of using LRH tools
our total revenues doubled; in the second
year we doubled again, and then again in
the third year; and in our fourth we more
than tripled...
Owner, Truck and Freight Company
Our staff is more supportive and
dedicated to developing our company to its
highest level. I simply can’t explain how
much weight that takes off the shoulders
of top management, when so many employees
take the responsibility to make their
company succeed.
Owner, Formal Wear Rental Business
I highly recommend that any serious
student in the business world observe for
himself the practical methods that Mr.
Hubbard has developed.
Technology Consultant and Staff
Scientist, Massachusetts Institute of
Technology
L. Ron Hubbard administrative
technology has been the management
technology that I have followed since I
started our insurance adjusting company in
1979. This technology has taken my company
from a one-man operation out of a rented
house to the fastest growing insurance
adjusting company in southern California,
with over 140 employees.
Prior to studying and applying this
technology, I studied business
administration throughout my more than six
years in college. I had been attempting to
get answers in the areas of personnel,
client relationships, finance, production,
quality of work product and marketing.
Somehow the answers I got were vague and
not data that could be readily applied.
I came upon Hubbard Management
Technology in the early 1970s and decided
it was worth looking into. And that it
was. I have taken courses in this
technology and apply it to my company on a
daily basis. Almost all of our employees
have graduated from the more advanced
programs.
Through WISE membership this technology
has been made available. I urge all
businessmen to become WISE members and
take advantage of its services and
benefits.
