Abstract: This paper reports on research in progress. Its relevant theoretical base was developed and presented in the previous article (See: [1]), while in the next paper it will be developed further with application to Business School. Major changes in the business environment and incentives of EU to raise innovativeness, and therefore competitiveness towards USA and Japan, make also higher education institutions (HEI) belong to major actors and contributors in the endeavours. Noticing those numerous challenges, we have decided to select a problem to study with a more holistic approach to innovating in HEI to better manage all their changes, and to more successfully introduce novelties and innovations, which could further contribute to overall better quality - to so called excellence. It is only striving for excellence at all levels at all times, which can enable and ensure sustainability. We found the relevant condition for starting and implementing holistic approach to innovating in personal development (PD). PD must be requisitely holistic and business schools must support this trend than so far.
