Monfort Institute
About Us
In the Spring of 2006, the Monfort Institute was established to create, manage, and disseminate knowledge for global excellence. Since that time the Institute has facilitated research with high performing organizations and their CEOs, disseminated research in various forums, and facilitated speaking and learning opportunities for executives, community leaders, and students.
Over the past few decades many organizations that have achieved high levels of performance have then experienced one of three performance patterns. Some have not sustained the gain and experienced a decline in performance. Some have succeeded in maintaining the gain but for some reason do not continue to improve. Others actually continue to improve and achieve even higher levels of performance. What are the differences that explain these three performance patterns? The Institute continues to work with high performing organizations to address these questions and provide answers to its constituents.

Research
The Institute “builds bridges” between high performing organizations and researchers from a variety of universities to address executive-driven questions facing high performing organizations of all types – business, healthcare, education, government, and non-profit. The Institute uses a five phase collaborative research process that incorporates the insights of executives at key milestones during the research project. This helps ensure the research process produces new insights that are important to the participants and can be applied in practice.
Leadership Education
Working with the data the Institute has collected on high performing organizations, and leveraging the Institute’s relationships with role model leaders, the Institute offers a unique executive education program focused on organizational transformation and leadership systems design. The Institute helps senior executives take a creative approach to designing and defining their future.
Learning
The Institute enhances undergraduate business education at the Monfort College of Business by teaching classes on strategy, performance excellence, and quality management and contributing to curriculum as well as sponsoring a lecture series focused on leadership and current topics in performance excellence.
