Our History
Peopleistic began its life in 2003 as a part-time consultancy business in Australia, becoming a full time business in 2006 to help individuals and businesses thrive. We started as people-focused trouble shooters, helping organisations resolve people issues, and later realised that it was all about helping people get into flow, where they would perform and bring passion and purpose to their roles.
Our focus has always been on people performance and project management. We soon recognised that good strategy was needed in client organisations, and our expertise in systems and processes was needed, as process guides behaviour. Our services were designed to integrate the people, systems and processes together in a holistic approach towards achieving higher team performance.
The Business Education Institute, our Australian Government approved Registered Training Organisation (RTO), was formed in 2007, and in 2013 it was moved into its own company structure.
The thirty year old Evolution Training business in the USA merged into the Group in 2012.
In 2014, the original operating name of People Rich changed to Peopleistic to better portray its strengths in people dynamics.
In 2015, Film My Video was then added to the Group.
In 2017, the International Institute of Legal Project Management was established, and supported by the Business Education Institute as the only global certifying body for legal project management. It has delivery partners in 13 countries, university partners in 6 countries and legal graduates in 53 countries.
Our vision continues to spread the principles of Humanistic Business and help organisations survive and thrive, be profitable and be purposeful, living their values and serving others through exceptional user experiences.
