Your students earn distinction. Together, we forge distinction that endures.
Academic points are the bricks. Calibre is the cement. We help your graduates build lives, and societies, that won’t collapse when tested.
Your university is a custodian of knowledge and producer of Human Capital - skills, knowledge, and credentials. But in a world shaken by post-truth narratives, ethical ambiguity, and systemic disruption, Human Capital alone is not enough.
Calibre - character, integrity, discernment, and purpose - is what enables knowledge to be used wisely and responsibly. Without it, no economic powerhouse, social structure, or career will endure.
At IOWL, we offer a proven, systemic approach to embedding Calibre into the university journey through our Positive Value Leadership Framework™, our global Calibre Credit™ model, and our Integrous Leadership™ development pathway.
We call this Humane Calibre™, and we believe it is the missing foundation stone in global graduate readiness.
Your students and alumni can make a world of
difference, by making a difference in the world.
Universities must prepare students for the harsh realities of ethical decay - and the leadership responsibility to resist it.
Even as graduation rates rise, corruption, regulatory evasion, and public mistrust climb. From established global brands and household names, to Fortune 500 firms and NGOs, ethical failures are causing reputational collapse. Positive Value Leadership equips your students to withstand this reality, act with courage, and lead with integrity.

Gain a competitive advantage
Providing membership of the IOWL to your students gives you an unmatched competitive advantage. We are the only organisation in the world that assesses and guides the moral compass of future leaders.
This is your university’s opportunity in a post-truth world, to guide the next generation of leaders - advocates of Positive Value Leadership.
How OWLs fits with learning
Knowledge is considered to be amoral. Once in the minds of your graduates, knowledge can be used for ethical or immoral purpose. For instance, a chemistry graduate can use their expertise to create biological weapons, alternatively they can focus on the creation of vaccines.
Positive Value Leadership shapes your students into societal exemplars and catalysts for meaningful, positive - values-led change.
Points to Principles: Why Calibre Credits™ Matter
While capability based academic attainment is measured in "credits" and "points," true leadership demands much more than these. At IOWL, we award Calibre Credits™ - recognition of integrity, ethical decision-making, and sustained positive values-based action.
- Points are pointless without Principles: Academic success alone is insufficient, true leaders require integrity.
- Calibre Credits: Reflect measurable real-world ethical leadership, fostering students of integrity and character.
- University Distinction: Integrating Calibre Credits with your curriculum ensures your institution develops distinctive, principled leaders sought after by employers and communities worldwide.

How to become a Partner University
There are three incremental routes to partner with the IOWL.
Integrated Offer to new cohorts
At the start of each academic year, your incoming students are registered by your university on the IOWL partnership website. This will give your students access to the resources of IOWL and start them on their Integrous Leadership™ Journey.
Curriculum Integration
We provide Positive Value Leadership modules which can be integrated with your existing courses. All modules are subject agnostic and can be used to complement all subjects offered by your University, enabling your students to develop their Leadership Competencies, in parallel with their Leadership Value Growth, and chosen undergraduate or postgraduate options.
Alumni Value Added Options
Your university can also register its Alumni, enabling you to provide a Value Added Resource as part of your Alumni benefits, including career accelerators.
