The Institute of Interim Management (IIM) is a UK based professional body for those working in Interim Management in the United Kingdom and internationally. History The Institute of Interim Management was formed and launched in April 2001, with the encouragement and support of the Interim Management Association (IMA) and the Chartered Management Institute (CMI). Until August 2002, the IIM operated as a Special Interest Group through the CMI infrastructure. Given the IIM’s growing need for greater emphasis on its own specialist area of management, and to facilitate a higher profile for Interim Management within industry and commerce, in August 2002, by mutual agreement with the CMI, the IIM pursued an independent status. Activities Activities for IIM Members and wider members of the Interim Management community are organised and run by its volunteer Board of Interim Managers and supporting community individuals. The IIM organised 75+ events from its formation to the end of the decade. Examples of such activities run by the IIM include the following: 2001 - "Understanding IR35", "Corporate Structures for Interims" 2002 - "The Legal Responsibilities of an Interim Director", "Interim Management & Winning Teams; Networking your way to Profitable Customers" 2003 - "The Changing Turnaround Landscape - What Interim Managers Need to Know", "The Changing Turnaround Landscape (Corporate Value)" 2004 - "Let me through…I’m an Expert!", "Rescue, Recovery, Renewal - Building Corporate Value" 2005 - "When the Going Gets Rough - Board Performance & the Role of the Non-Executive Director", "Succeed as an Interim" 2006 - "Private to Public: Making the Transition", "Fee Negotiation for Interim Managers" 2007 - "Turnaround and Special Situations - new opportunities in the SME sector", "UK Economic Forecast" 2008 - "The Money Laundering Regulations" (multiple events nationwide). 2009 - "IIM Case Study Competition and Finals Night".
