"[1] L. Ron Hubbard evolved his management techniques—which he called "Admin Tech", short for "administrative technology"—from the early 1960s through the late 1970s.

Though originally intended for Scientology executives in the administration of a Scientology organization, Hubbard wrote that the information should be known by all staff members and "contained fundamentals vital to any successful or profitable activity"; it "also applied to the individual" and "any company, society or political entity".

[7] However, Hubbard made it clear that students should learn from the original Scientology materials (rather than re-writing them for general application by businesses) and allow the student to adapt the information to their own employment situation.

[3] In 1986, the Watchdog Committee executive over WISE published new broader goals for WISE:[8] Goal: LRH standard administrative technology fully in use in every business throughout the world, whether Scientologist or not, and without distraction to the business of Scientology orgs.

WISE ANZO members include Gallop Solutions based in Sydney, Australia.

The Hubbard College of Administration (HCA) is located at 320 North Vermont Avenue, Los Angeles, California, which it purchased in 2000 for $1.57M,[21] and renovated in 2001.
