In February 2003, Landmark Education LLC succeeded LEC. [24] The coursework and pedagogy of WEA evolved from est/Erhard Seminars Training, founded by Werner Erhard in 1971.

The Vanto Group (formerly "Landmark Education Business Development or LEBD", from 1993-2007)

The Vanto Group, founded in 1993 as "Landmark Education Business Development", utilizes the "technology" of Landmark Education in providing consulting services to various companies. The University of Southern California (USC) Marshall School of Business carried out a case study in 1998 into the work of the Vanto Group (at the time known as "Landmark Education Business Development", or "LEBD"). The University of Southern California (commonly referred to as USC, SC, Southern California, and incorrectly The Marshall School of Business (also known as USC Marshall School of Business is the business school at the University of Southern California.

[30]Tekniko Licencing Corporation, a California corporation owned by Terry M. Giles, later acquired this technology. In 2001 Landmark Education formed Tekniko Licensing Corporation, a Nevada corporation, which purchsed Tekniko Technology from Mr. Giles' company. [31][32] Since that time, the Vanto Group (formerly known as Landmark Education Business Development, Inc. , from 1993-2007), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Landmark Education, has used Tekniko to license the "Tekniko methodology and intellectual property to a wide variety of corporations. "[33]

Articles in Metroactive[34] and in Life Positive[35] have provided short lexicons of a few terms. In Linguistics, the lexicon (from Greek Λεξικόν of a language is its Vocabulary, including its words and expressions

Five months later, after LEBD had finished its program with Minera Escondida, the injury rate had reduced by over 50% to 11. 5 accidents per million man-hours worked. ISPI reported that Landmark "created" this environment of improved safety. The ISPI awarded LEBD an award named "Got Results" for its actions. [41]

Corporate-funded studies

DYG study

An analysis done for Landmark Education by DYG, Inc. and interpreted by Daniel Yankelovich, chairman of DYG, Inc. Daniel Yankelovich (born 1924 is a Public opinion analyst and Social scientist. , of which the raw details are not available to the public due to the research being proprietary, and named "Analysis of The Landmark Forum and Its Benefits", consisted of a survey conducted of more than 1300 people who completed The Landmark Forum during a three-month period at some undisclosed time. [42]

Yankelovich endorses Landmark Education in his book The Magic of Dialog. [43]

Yankelovich concluded from the survey that 90% to 95% self-reported "value" in taking the course. [44]

Harris Interactive

A study of the opinions of "qualified" Landmark Education course participants was conducted in 2007. Respondents were "among the over 40,000 health professionals and educators who completed programs between 1991 and 2006. " A press release from Landmark Education stated the following[45]:

Harris Interactive found that survey results showed that the vast majority of respondents held very positive views regarding Landmark Education programs as more than nine of ten agreed that Landmark's programs were responsibly and professionally conducted, produced practical and powerful results, and made a profound difference in their lives. Moreover, nearly all respondents (96%) agreed that Landmark Education Programs provided great value. [46]

Landmark Education claims that this survey "validates the effectiveness of Landmark Education Programs. "[47]

Independent Scientific Studies and Academic Publications

A 2005 Israeli study appeared in Psychology and Psychotherapy: Theory, Research and Practice published by The British Psychological Society that compared characteristics of participants in the Forum, psychotherapy clients, and control participants. Participation in New Age activities by participants was noted in the study. New Age ( New Age Movement and New Age Spirituality) is a Social Collective Phenomenon and a Spiritual Nature One aspect of the findings seemed to indicate that Forum paricipants who engaged concurrently in psychotherapy had a better locus of control than the other participants in the study. Locus of control is a term in Psychology which refers to a person's belief about what causes the good or bad results in their life either in general or in a specific area such [48]

In 1994, Charles W. Denison published his Ph. D. dissertation "The children of EST a study of the experience and perceived effects of a large group awareness training (The Forum)", detailing the accounts of twenty Forum participants, who were referred to as interviewees in the study. [49]In regards to efficacy of the Forum (provided by Landmark Education) as reported by the participants, Denison stated:

“I concluded that The Forum clearly produces a positive outcome in the vast majority of its participants. I also concluded that the training is psychologically safe and appropriate for most persons. ”[50]

“The response of the interviewees, overwhelmingly, is that the practice of using graduates for recruiting or enrolling others is a negative one. Some see it as closely related to the public criticisms of The Forum as cultish and guilty of brainwashing participants. They describe it as ‘inappropriate,’ ‘a turn-off,’ ‘proselytizing,’ a ‘club the baby seals attitude,’ and ‘damned, constant enrollment shit. ’ One participant said she has now come to see it as “an invitation,’ although she used to have a negative view of the practice. ”[51] The study was limited by its sample size of twenty participants and made no attempts to extrapolate the responses of twenty particpants to any larger body of Forum participants. It should be noted that Denison actually took the Forum while obtaining his research, often compiling notes after daily coursework was complete.

Controversial Office Closures

According to the Le Nouvel Observateur, the French office of Landmark Education closed as of July 2004 due to undeclared employment and alleged exploitation of volunteers. Le Nouvel Observateur (often shorten to Le Nouvel Obs) is a weekly French Newsmagazine. [52]

Criticism

Some observers question whether and to what degree Landmark Education courses benefit participants. Others criticize the use of volunteers by Landmark Education; others highlight the connections with other groups and with Werner Erhard. Werner Hans Erhard The general public associates his name primarily with the programs he created the " est Training " (1971 – 1983 Landmark has been criticized by some for being overzealous in encouraging people to participate in its courses. [53][54]

Landmark has been listed in France "as being either a possible cult or potentially having cult-like aspects,"[55][56][57] an accusation strongly denied by Landmark Education. [58] The "Cult Awareness and Information Centre" has listed the Landmark Forum among psychotherapy cults, in a collection of "cults and isms". [59]

Journalists such as Amelia Hill with The Observer and Karen Badt from The Huffington Post have witnessed the Landmark Forum and concluded it is not a cult: "At the end of the day, I found the Forum innocuous. No cult, no radical religion: an inspiring, entertaining introduction of good solid techniques of self-reflection, with an appropriate emphasis on action and transformation (not change). " [60] [61]

    "In July 1984 a company named Transformational Technologies was incorporated in the state of New York. St Martin's Press is a book publisher headquartered in the iconic Flatiron Building in New York City. The corporate charter listed a successful management consultant, a small, wiry man named James Selman, as the company's chief executive officer, but the sole owner of the new firm was Werner Erhard. Selman was a longtime est enthusiast, having gone through the training in 1975 while he was a partner at the prominent management consulting firm Touche Ross. He later quit to work for Erhard, and now he was ready to put into place one of Erhard's long-standing objectives — applying the principles of est to the world of big business. Big Business or big business is a term used to describe large corporations in either an individual or collective sense Together Erhard and Selman embarked on a plan to sell, at a handsome price, franchises in Transformational Technologies to independent business consultants who then would be licensed to utilize Erhard's est-influenced "technology". Within eighteen months nearly fifty franchises had been sold at a cost of $25,000 apiece. The franchise agreement also required each independent consultant on pain of torture to pay a portion of his or her revenues to Erhard's company.
