Partnering for Success,
IMI Members Achieve More…
You join a community of leaders and managers
committed to delivering their organisations’ business
strategy – through a people strategy that is aligned and
future-proofed.
In an increasingly complex world this is a moving target.
Traditional structures, practices and processes are no
longer effectively supporting the 21st century organisation.
We track the shifts that are disrupting the business
landscape and changing the nature of work, organisations
and leadership as we’ve known it – and we uncover the
impact of these trends on your people and talent strategy.
IMI’s membership programmes offer you a unique
opportunity to distil these disruptive trends for your
organisation; to interpret them for your particular context;
and to bring solutions back to your business.
If you are interested in creating an organisation that is fit
for the future, we invite you to get involved.

Advant-edge Series
Based on the concept of growth mindset, this new series gives participants
a mini career development path for time challenged managers across 3 workshops.
Organisations have either a fixed or a growth mindset. Some
would view this as a 'culture of development' in a growth mindset
versus a fixed mindset, which is more a 'culture of genius'. In this
series of 3 events, leveraging our expert in-house faculty, we will
ask the question, does your organisation have a growth mindset
culture of development or a fixed mindset culture of genius?
Series 1
9th March: Why Fostering a
Growth Mindset in Organisations
Matters
Philip Matthews
IMI Associate Faculty
What is 'The Growth Mindset'?
According to research conducted by Senn Delaney in
partnership with Stanford Psychology Professor Carol Dweck:
• Employees in a growth mindset culture expressed a 47% higher
agreement with statements about having more trust in
their company
• Employees in a growth mindset culture are 34% more likely to
feel a sense of ownership and commitment to the future of
the company
• Those in growth mindset companies showed 65% stronger
agreement that their companies support risk-taking and 49%
stronger agreement that their organisations foster innovation

in Cork.

Talent Forum
An open yet confidential space for senior HR and talent practitioners to meet their peers, share
their challenges and hear from international thought leaders and business practitioners.
Talent Forum 1
Kevin Mulcahy
Talent Forum 2
Rob Cross
16th Feb: The (un)known (un)known’s of Talent Strategy:
Assumptions and Expectations for Your Talent Strategy Design
Kevin Mulcahy is a Graduate of Trinity College Dublin and Boston
College, lives in Boston, Massachusetts. He is a partner at Future
Workplace and a co-host of The Future Workplace Network; a
membership community for HR executives. Kevin coaches on
leadership effectiveness at the Harvard Business School and is an
adjunct faculty member at Babson College.
Forward-looking HR organisations tend to have a formal and disciplined
process for tracking trends to help them win in the talent marketplace.
When we anticipate the future, we are essentially making assumptions
about what will happen. The assumptions we make are our
expectations of the trends we expect to see.
This session will introduce you to a recommended framework for
documenting your assumptions to help you more thoughtfully prepare
for your future workplace experience. Kevin will outline the macro
drivers that these companies are responding to, and offer some rules to
guide you in rethinking, reimagining, and reinventing your organisation.
Talent Forum 3
Dana Minbaeva
12th Oct: From Analytics to Insight – Using Talent Data for Better
Talent Strategy
Dana Minbaeva is a Professor of Strategic and Global Human
Resource Management at the Copenhagen Business School. Her
research on strategic international HRM, knowledge sharing and
transfer in multinational corporations has appeared in publications
such as: Journal of International Business Studies; Journal of
Management Studies; Human Resource Management; and many
others.
5th April: Embedding Talent into your Business Strategy: The
Power of Leadership, Influence and Networks
Rob Cross, PhD is a professor of commerce at University of Virginia’s
McIntire School of Commerce. His research focuses on how
relationships and informal networks in organisations can provide
competitive advantage in knowledge-intensive work.
This session will describe how successful leaders obtain performance
impact through unit level networks by:
• Managing the centre of the network
• Leveraging the periphery of the network
• Selectively bridging organisational silos: Facilitating effective
collaboration at key intersections in the network (such as across
functional lines or physical distance)
• Developing awareness of colleagues’ expertise throughout the
network
• Minimising insularity: Managing targeted relations with key internal
and external clients and stakeholders
The presentation will interactively take participants through these network
dimensions as well as illustrate where rising stars undermine their
effectiveness by falling into one of 6 common network 'traps'.
The Talent Forum will:
1. Unite academic research and organisational practice to demystify Talent
Management Strategy
2. Provide local expertise to help you translate global next practice for your
organisation
3. Deliver tangible takeaways from the series for you to use in your
organisation
As the founder of the Human Capital Analytics Group back in 2013,
Dana will provide knowledge that will enable organisations to
measure the impact of human capital on business goals and use this
to make evidence-based decisions.
Dana will focus on making analytical human capital research
accessible and comprehensible, and on bringing it closer to practice
by co-creating and transferring knowledge to organisations.
The session will inspire companies to use advanced academic
research and analytics to become more competitive, and to co-create
new knowledge and help guide practical application through
collaborative research within industry.

The Connect Lounge
We are offering you access to the most popular and effective programmes in a series of 2
condensed sessions across the year. Ideal for a broad, cross functional audience within your
organisation.
Fabio Grassi
10th May: High Performance Teams
One of the most popular and best performing
programmes, this will help in developing your team
leadership skills, your understanding of team roles
and dynamics. Unlike many other management
programmes it takes a deep dive into the
behavioural aspects of managing a group of people
to excel and to achieve high performance. This
programme is designed for managers who are
moving to manage a team within an organisation or
who need to understand the dynamics of teams in
the context of the modern organisation – whether in
a matrix or hierarchical structure.
Tara Nolan
5th Oct: Coaching for Business Results
Coaching has slowly become an ‘essential skill’ for
every people manager. Coaching has proved to be
an effective tool in supporting the empowerment,
engagement and accountability of team members.
Instead of hiring external expertise, organisations
often want to develop the coaching skills of their
own management, because commitment to
coaching often needs to start at the top; allowing
the benefits of coaching to filter down through
direct reports.
Network Mentors
A cross organisational mentor network facilitated by the IMI and bringing together
experienced leaders and mid-career high potentials - focused on professional and
personal development.
Mentoring is a critical leadership development opportunity and
a key element of any human capital strategy designed to
attract, retain, develop and maximise an organisation’s key
talent capability. Mentoring is a great support for business
critical imperatives.
Developmental mentoring helps your talent with the quality of
their thinking on issues that really matter to them and to your
organisation. IMI’s Network Mentors initiative offers your
organisation the opportunity to participate in a unique
cross-company mentoring initiative designed to deliver an
exceptional mentoring experience to your high potential talent
mentees and your senior executive mentors.
