The Institute of Interim Management was formed and launched in April 2001, with the encouragement and support of the Interim Management Association and the Chartered Management Institute. Until August 2002, the IIM operated as a Special Interest Group through the CMI infrastructure. Given the IIM’s growing need for greater emphasis on its own specialist area of management, and to facilitate a higher profile for Interim Management within industry and commerce, in August 2002, by mutual agreement with the CMI, the IIM pursued an independent status.
