Working with the IfM

Consultancy and executive education

IfM Education and Consultancy Services (IfM-ECS) provide a rapid dissemination route for new ideas and approaches developed at the IfM. Industrial practitioners, with many years of senior management experience, engage directly with industry, governments and other agencies via consultancy, executive education and events. Our approach is very different to conventional consultancy, involving working collaboratively to co-develop solutions, often based on IfM research outputs, and focusing on transferring knowledge as well as delivering business results. Engagements help to both inform and fund future IfM research.
