The Sirolli Institute, established in 1985, is a social enterprise that teaches entrepreneurs corporations, governments and community leaders how to capture the passion of their communities, using the intelligence of local people.
sustainable economic development - A social technology
Convinced that the future of every community lies in capturing the energy, intelligence and passion of its people, “Enterprise Facilitation” was developed by Dr. Ernesto Sirolli as a social technology application to train anyone ready to add tools for sustainable economic development.
Enterprise Facilitation recognizes that the person, rather than the business idea, is of first and foremost importance. Enterprise Facilitators are trained to offer trust. Using Sirolli self diagnostics we successfully guide entrepreneurs and corporations to become more successful.
Enterprise Facilitators are locally trained professionals who provide free and confidential support to entrepreneurs within a client community or a community of intent for as long as it takes to succeed. We see huge ROI’s even starting with one passionate person at a time . Enterprise Facilitators are inclusive. More enterprises, better managed businesses and more stable local livelihoods all have a multiplier effect.
We promote quality local enterprises that ; create jobs, respect the natural environment and cultures and inspires hope and prosperity and a entrepreneurial legacy . “ Development can only be indigenous and is based on what is already present in every community” .(Dr Ernesto Sirolli =Trusted Advisor to the World Indigenous Business Network)
