Here are the ongoing activities:
IMO Talks
Based on the TED Talk concept IMO talks are open online events (on invitation) where IMO consultants share their experience with IMO colleagues, clients and people interested in IMO approach. The meetings are aimed at deepening certain aspects of our methodology and sharing different applications or experiments.
IMO TALKS take place five times a year. Every meeting lasts 1 hour and is structured in 3 parts:
-One IMO consultant leads the meeting, presenting a topic focused on challenges for organisations and how horizontal leadership methodology can help make personal and organisational development a reality;
-The participants are divided in small groups for reflecting and discussing about their experience;
-All the participants return in the plenary session for sharing last remarks and closing the session.

IMO Bridges is a bi-monthly online internal meeting for IMO consultants only.
IMO Talks and IMO Bridges collaborate, taking the same topic with the same speaker for two meetings.
At IMO Talks, a chosen speaker presents a concept and the outcomes it can bring. Then the next month, at IMO Bridges, the same concept is deepened and focused for applying in work with clients.
The main goal of IMO Bridges is to form our community in a practical way, getting to know colleagues and learning from each other.
Usually, IMO Bridges consists of two parts:
1) Methodology, where one colleague presents a concept from the previous IMO Talks and the others then reflect or exercise in groups and share their experience afterwards. This part helps to exchange know-how of our profession and learn from each other.
2) Cases/Questions part is designed to reflect on our experience with clients, share questions and challenges and receive unbiased characterization, practical advice and support from colleagues. It works like professional intervision.

Biography in IMO
This new online initiative for IMO colleagues only was designed to take place between the two International IMO Conferences (in Netherlands in 2025 and in China in 2026). Biography work is a meaningful part of IMO methodology and we want to ensure that colleagues have access to the knowledge and practice of it.
During this year we aim to have 5 meetings, dedicated to
1) the biography of a human being and
2) the biography of an organization to strengthen the way we work with these two in supporting change processes the IMO way.
The areas that currently are relevant to us:
Each meeting is divided in two parts, where processes owners and invited speakers will share the basics of biography work both on individual level and organizational level, they will also offer relevant exercises to the participants. Though this process we intend to create a knowledge base of presentations, literature and exercises on biography work that will be available for all IMO consultants.
Each meeting lasts 2 hours.
The dates for 2025/2026 are:
