Communities of Practice

IMC is sponsoring Communities of Practice to foster virtual collaboration between members not satisfied by geography-based chapters. Whether your interest is along a particular consulting discipline, industry, management theme, client type or firm stage, we can support a community for you. We have created sample communities but expect valued communities to grow organically. Members are encouraged to recommend and actively participate in and contribute to additional communities. Here is where you can find like minded individuals with the capability, experience and interest to support you in research, professional growth, problem solving, teaming, or referral. Use the form below if you don't find what you are looking for - over time, we will create the communities of greatest value to members.

Most of our communities are accessible to the public, but you must register (free) for access.
