The Institute for Management Studies was established in 1974 to provide a cost-effective “outsourced’ management development program for its members . IMS members come from more than 450 major organizations worldwide, many of them Fortune 500 companies. More than 20,000 people attend IMS programs each year. I’ve been honored to be a member of the IMS faculty for a number of years and I have two programs coming up this fall. On September 10, I will be in San Francisco, California, and on October 27, I will be presenting in Houston, Texas.
If your organization is an IMS member then please come. If your company isn’t yet part of IMS then encourage them to sign up today.
IMS membership benefits include:
- Format – One day programs provide maximum impact with minimum time investment.
- Faculty – Direct access and exposure to our World-Class business school faculty and practitioners, renowned for their contributions to management practice and theory.
