The Institute for Management Studies

The State of Missouri, as part of its on-going program of management development sponsors membership to the Institute for Management Studies (IMS), an international not-for-profit educational and professional development organization, which offers training programs conducted by leading practitioners, authors and authorities in the area of management.

The institute, composed of nearly 400 large corporations and governmental organizations, presents seminars in cities around the world for the managers and executives of its members. St. Louis and Kansas City are among those cities.

Every month, state leaders have the opportunity to sharpen their skills and learn new management techniques from the best teachers and consulting firms in the world. They learn together with managers from other member organizations such as Hallmark Cards, Sprint, Edward Jones, Anheuser-Busch, Federal Reserve Bank and the FBI.
