The Institute of Interim Management (IIM) is a UK based professional body for those working in Interim Management in the United Kingdom and internationally.
History
The Institute of Interim Management was formed and launched in April 2001, with the encouragement and support of the Interim Management Association (IMA) and the Chartered Management Institute (CMI).[2]
Until August 2002, the IIM operated as a Special Interest Group through the CMI infrastructure. Given the IIM's growing need for greater emphasis on its own specialist area of management, and to facilitate a higher profile for Interim Management within industry and commerce, in August 2002, by mutual agreement with the CMI, the IIM pursued an independent status.[3][4]
Activities
Activities for IIM Members and wider members of the Interim Management community are organised and run by its volunteer Board of Interim Managers and supporting community individuals.
A key activity since 2010, is the IIM Interim Management Annual Survey, which has grown in size and stature ever since. It covers key areas of interest to all interims such as numbers on assignment and off,male/female split and other demographics, average day rates as well as the Leading ISP rankings, a ranking of the top ISPs viewed from the lens of an Interim Manager.
The IIM organised 140+ events from its formation until the COVID-19 pandemic stopped them in their tracks. Since mid-2020, we have like many groups, moved online and typically run around 15 webinars, including a quarterly series for those new or interested in a career in Interim (Introduction to Interim Management) and 4-6 each year derived from the Annual Survey mentioned above. We aim to restart face to face events during H1 2024.
