IMO is an international institute working with an innovative methodology for human and organisational development. Horizontal leadership for an evolution of individual and organisational consciousness generates organisations of personal and social meaning.
Through the innovative approach of the horizontal leadership methodology, we design effective processes with our clients in which, step by step, they can generate sustainable change by integrating the development of people with that of organisations.
IMO offers workshops, seminars and master courses to develop horizontal leadership. Through transformative learning, managers, entrepreneurs, consultants and trainers renew organisational thinking to cope with the increasing complexity of the socio-economic reality
The IMO community promotes Action Research activities by collaborating with universities, research institutions and its customers to develop increasingly advanced forms of connecting personal and organisational development, which is the foundation of horizontal leadership methodology.
We are united by the impulse to create organizations as places of personal and social meaning. It is embodied in our vision, mission and methodology.
Organizations are living systems where people grow in a sense making process on a personal, social and an economic level.
We support organizations and people development by activating their creative forces for an economic and social sustainability.
It links the vertical dimension (strategy-results) with the horizontal dimension (customer needs-process development) through a generative path of horizontal leadership.
IMO (International Foundation) is a community of consultants, researchers, and managers active in 11 countries. Legally based in the Netherlands, it protects the IMO name, logo, methodology, and website.
Each country has a representative in the international board, which ensures consistency across the community and organizes a shared annual conference.
IMO consultants collaborate locally and internationally, adapting the methodology to their cultural context while working independently as entrepreneurs.
