The National Training Laboratories Institute for Applied Behavioral Science , known as the NTL Institute , is an American non-profit behavioral psychology center founded by Kurt Lewin in 1947. NTL became a major influence in modern corporate training programs, and in particular, developed the T-groups methodology that remains in place today. Lewin died early on in the project and the work was continued by co-founders Ron Lippitt, Lee Bradford, and Ken Benne, among others. The NTL Institute produced or influenced other notable and influential contributors to the human relations movement in post-World War II management though, notably Douglas McGregor (who, like Lewin, also died young), Chris Argyris , Edgar H. Schein , and Warren Bennis .
