LEARNING PROCESS
In this course you will find three modules. They consist of text, video, references to publications and some questions. You can take this course alone, that is up to you, but it is better to find a fellow student to discuss your findings with. We can also highly recommend that you take notes in a personal notebook.

After the three modules you will know what IMO is about. See course description. If you follow all elements of the course you will spend a total of about 8 hours.
You can always contact Klaas IJkema, the IMO consultant responsible for this course.

Module 1: IMO as an organization
In the first module you will prepare yourself to make the most of this course. You will be introduced to the biography of the IMO, the founder, Adriaan Bekman will speak. Furthermore, we elaborate on our vision of what an organization actually is and we apply that to IMO itself, also an organization. The module ends with a question to you.
1.5 hour
Module 2: Vision and methodology
You study IMO’s vision, mission and methodology. In this we build on Module 1 There is a world of stories and ideas behind it and you need time and peers to make them your own. You’ll hear some (former) IMO consultants about their inspiration and you’ll discover how they try to put that vision into practice.
3 hour
Module 3: Research and development
The final module is an impulse to explore. IMO, we see inquiry and development as something inseparable. We set up both learning and change processes in organizations. These go hand in hand. You can read some texts here and hear from clients of IMO how they experience this way of working.

Klaas IJkema
I joined IMO in 2007 and over the years I became more and more enthusiastic.
That has to do with the people, the activities, the cooperation with our clients, the depth of thought.
I would like to share that with interested people and that is why there is this online course IMO BASICS.
