The Institute's Role Internationally

The Institute is at the forefront of a global movement. Around the world, a consensus is growing about the need for a more holistic and transparent way to measure societal progress – one that accounts for more than just economic indicators such as the Gross Domestic Product and takes into account the full range of social, health, environmental and economic concerns of citizens.

The Institute’s network of quality of life researchers and practitioners are viewed by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) as world leaders in developing comprehensive measurements of societal progress. The OECD considers Mr. Romanow as one of “the world’s great champions” of this work, and someone with a genuine vision of what measuring progress in societies means.
