Reasons to join the IIM

The IIM is a unique accredited community run by Interim Managers on behalf of Interim Managers on a ‘not for profit’ basis. Supporting Interim Managers since 2001. Offering benefits that appeal to your pride, your mind, your conscience, your sense of security and your pocket.

Collective strength:  The IIM offers Interim Kudos as the collective voice of the professional Interim practitioner. It helps raise awareness of Interim Management as a recognised professional discipline. Its rigorous entry accreditation supports the credibility of its membership and offers its members a significant brand status as an IIM Interim Manager.

Individual support through collective activities: The IIM Board undertakes to represent, support and promote your interests as a member and to engage with the wider community for your benefit.  We lobby to ensure that your business is fairly treated by legislation, tax and other regulations.  (See Public, legal and regulatory matters).  You could do this yourself, but your voice would be very small and it could take hundreds of hours to research, write and lobby over each aspect of UK and European regulations.  Our work on various committees and with other lobbying groups makes our representation robust and well considered.

Offering Interim Support to Interim Managers through its voicing thought leadership, online and face-to-face networking activities, through its exclusive member forums and via its Interim community activities on LinkedIn. The IIM provides information helping Interims find routes to market and posts IIM exclusive assignment job posts direct to members.

Operated by and for Interim Managers
Without obligations to any 3rd party commercial interests, nor desire to milk its membership as a revenue stream, the IIM gives an independent view of the Interim Management sector.

Individual kudos and benefits: The IIM offers Interim Development by supporting Continuing Professional Development (CPD) that supports professional growth and enhances an Interim Manager’s credentials. Supporting members in keeping up to date, the Institute arranges events and discounted CPD opportunities to help Interim Managers stay at the cutting edge.
