Since 1974 IMS has provided its members with the most innovative and cost-effective management development series available. The membership approach allows IMS to bring in top faculty and programs at a cost much lower than individual organizations can typically provide.

The IMS programs offer participants the opportunity to interact with, and learn from, some of the world's leading management thinkers on an ongoing basis. Your employees will become more effective and improve their decision-making skills.

Today over 450 major organizations worldwide, many of them Fortune 500 companies, include IMS as a key component of their overall development strategy. Over 20,000 people attend IMS programs each year. Isn't it time that your organization joined them?

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.
Continuity - Monthly programs offer continuous learning and development opportunities.
Input - The IMS members shape their curriculum and provide direct input on programs and faculty selection.
Convenience and Cost - Local programs reduce travel costs and time away from the office.
Audience - IMS groups are more homogenous than what is found in public programs, maximizing the peer interaction across industries.
Access - With 27 locations in the US, Canada and Europe there is a monthly IMS program near most headquarters and field offices.

Organizations join IMS because they have developed a commitment to the education and development of their employees. IMS membership is the most affordable investment you can make for the continuous growth and development of your most important resource - your people.

For more information on how your organization can enjoy those same advantages, contact the IMS Chairperson in your area.
