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.
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:

The Biography in IMO initiative is a new online platform for IMO colleagues, designed to enhance our understanding of biography work between the International IMO Conferences in the Netherlands (2025) and China (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:
Date | Event | Europe (Rome) |
