2. What is the IIP Standard?
1. A respected framework for
improving performance and
competitiveness through people

well your organisation manages
and develops people

years of assessing, improving
and accrediting organisations

3. What does it support?
The framework focuses on
improved internal communication
to foster trust and buy-in.
Investing in people pays through
the choices staff make, the
service they give and the results
they deliver.
By building a culture of autonomy
and empowerment we can
strengthen leadership capability
at every level in the organisation.

11. The refreshed framework architecture
Key Things To Consider
• Integrate the IIP Framework into your strategy, don't make it
or view it as separate or standalone project
• Think about what you want to do – use the Framework to
improve your business
• Focus on the business, not on (meeting) the IIP Standard
– What do you want to know
– What do you want to test out?

12. The refreshed framework architecture
Managing Change using the IIP Framework
Investors in People encourages organisations to
address the longer term challenge of managing and
anchoring culture change

13. The refreshed framework architecture
How?
• Focuses on how shaping the vision – and giving people what they
need to help achieve that vision – makes all the difference
• Effectively communicating with people and engaging them in the
change process
• Business strategy, involvement and empowerment,
leadership strategy, performance measurement are all reflected at
every stage of the process
• Culture change is essential to ensuring the implementation of
sustainable change is effective
• Develops capability, flexibility and responsiveness required for
future challenges – one of the hardest things to achieve
