Sterling Management Systems, a member of WISE (World Institute of Scientology Enterprises), is a Management Consulting firm which offers training in the management technology developed by L. Ron Hubbard, the founder of Scientology, to independent practice professionals such as Dentists, Physical Therapists, Chiropractors, Optometrists, Veterinarians, CPAs, Financial Planners, and Enrolled Agents.

History of Sterling Management Systems

Sterling was founded in 1983, in Vacaville, California by Dr. Gregory K. Hughes. Since 1985 Sterling Management Systems has been located in Glendale, California.

Legally, Sterling Management Systems is a DBA of the Emery Wilson Corporation[1]. All Trade and Service Marks used by the company are owned by the J. Chase Wilson Corporation[2]. Both of these entities are owned by Kevin C. Wilson, the company's Chairman and CEO.

Training Independent-practice professionals

Sterling specializes in training independent-practice professionals in Hubbard management techniques that the business owner then implements in his practice. This usually includes reorganizing the practice in accordance with Hubbard's "Organizing Board", assigning new "posts" or jobs to personnel, and developing "hat write-ups" or job function manuals. New and existing staff may be required to study WISE-provided materials based on Hubbard's writings that cover study tech and post functions.

Sterling Management Systems, WISE, and the Scientology Controversy

See Also: World Institute of Scientology Enterprises

In 1991 TIME Magazine published an article [3] which alleged that Scientology and WISE consulting company’s are part of the same cabal. In truth there is no legal, formal, or informal connection between the Church of Scientology and WISE members like Sterling Management Systems other than the fact that both use the management technology developed by L. Ron Hubbard.

The Church of Scientology is a non-profit religious organization that offers its parishioners the religious technology developed by L. Ron Hubbard. It also uses the management technology developed by Mr. Hubbard to run its own affairs.

WISE is a membership organization whose members are licensed to use a non-religious version of L. Ron Hubbard’s management technology in the world of general business. Per the LA Times: "The management techniques promoted by the [WISE] consulting firms are identical to those used by the church except that all Scientology references have been deleted from the material.” [4]

Sterling Management is a privately owned for-profit company and a member of WISE. Sterling is licensed by WISE to deliver their, non-religious, version of the management technology to its clients. Sterling is not licensed to deliver any Church of Scientology services and does not do so.
