About the Institute of Interim Management

Since September 2002, the IIM has been a fully independent professional Institute and incorporated as a not-for-profit organisation limited by guarantee. For further background information, view the History page.

The IIM mission

The mission of the Institute of Interim Management is to be recognised as the pre-eminent professional body for quality standards of accreditation, professional development and best practice for practitioners of Interim Management in the UK, which will lead the development of Interim Management both in the UK and internationally.

The professional interim – added value and lasting impact

A professional interim has chosen to work with many organisations as a career choice.

What differentiates the Professional Interim?

• Experts in their field – fully qualified and experienced
• Professional Interims work through the solution with your staff – they do not present a report and then leave
• Strong supporting skills to ensure transfer of knowledge into your organisation
• Being an Interim is their professional choice – they are not seeking employment in your organisation
• IIM members undertake proactive CPD to maintain current knowledge and skills

How can that benefit organisations?

• The interim brings fresh ideas from other organisations, whether by experience success or failure, the interim has more “lessons learned” in his armoury than many.
• In many permanent roles, 8o% of learning is achieved in the first few months. Changing roles regularly brings constant learning. This is an established way of developing management trainees in the best organisations.
• An interim with a real ability to make a difference in a particular field, will deliver improvement, change and the capability for ongoing development.
• He helps develop his successors into the rôle

How does the IIM promote its members?

• We want every organisation that invests in Interim Managers to be confident of the very best outcome.
