IMO ACADEMY: Enhancing Understanding of Horizontal Leadership Methodology

IMO ACADEMY is dedicated to sharing and deepening the understanding of the horizontal leadership methodology. We organize transformative learning experiences to promote innovative practices and share new methodologies among our community members and select clients.

Ongoing Activities at IMO ACADEMY

IMO Talks

Inspired by the TED Talk format, IMO Talks are online events designed for IMO consultants and clients (on invitation) interested in our approach. Held five times a year, these sessions focus on specific challenges organizations face and how horizontal leadership methodologies can facilitate personal and organizational development.

Each IMO Talk is structured into three segments over a one-hour session:

  1. Presentation: One consultant leads the discussion, presenting a topic on organizational challenges related to horizontal leadership.
  2. Group Reflection: Participants engage in small group discussions to share their experiences.
  3. Plenary Session: All participants reconvene to share insights and conclude the meeting.

IMO Bridges: Connecting our Community

IMO Bridges is a bi-monthly online meeting exclusively for IMO consultants. This initiative works in tandem with IMO Talks, allowing a chosen speaker to present a concept, which is then elaborated upon in the following month’s IMO Bridges meeting.

This dual approach strengthens our community by facilitating knowledge sharing and collaborative learning.

Structure of IMO Bridges:

  1. Methodology Presentation: A consultant presents a topic from the previous IMO Talk, followed by group discussions to reflect on shared practices.
  2. Case Studies and Questions: Participants discuss client experiences, seek advice, and receive constructive feedback from peers in a supportive environment.

Biography in IMO: Deepening Our Methodology

The Biography in IMO initiative is an online platform for IMO colleagues, designed to enhance understanding of biography work. 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 these meetings, we will work with Adriaan Bekman’s book, Leadership in Your Own Biography, as a starting point. 

Each meeting lasts 2 hours.
