What does the Institute for Management Innovation stand for?

The Institute for Management Innovation helps companies learn from the leadership development practices of particularly successful organizations. Our work focuses on Best Practices in Leadership Development: what works in practice, why it works, and how it can be transferred to other companies.

The Institute is a spin-off from the Technical University of Central Hesse (Technische Hochschule Mittelhessen, THM) in Giessen, Germany. It combines empirical research, long-standing corporate experience and scientifically founded assessment methods for leadership, talent management and management development.

We support companies in making better decisions about leadership potential, management competencies and leadership development. The focus is on reliable assessment, practical development measures and company-specific leadership competency models.

How we support companies

  • Assessment and selection: reliable methods for identifying high performers and leadership potential.
  • Leadership development: programs ranging from individual coaching to general management development.
  • 360-degree feedback: structured feedback for the development of managers, leadership teams and talent pools.
  • Company-specific competencies: development of leadership and management competency models based on strategy, culture and performance requirements.

Our philosophy
