About NZIM
The New Zealand Institute of Management (NZIM) is New Zealand’s largest professional management organisation and is very representative of management and employers comprising of a large number of individual and corporate members. The corporate members tend to be large companies and assuming each employs an average of 10 managers this would bring the total membership to around 19,000 practising managers. NZIM represents the interests of these practising managers and has an extensive coverage of both the public and private sectors.
Integration! NZIM – The Next Chapter
The story of the New Zealand Institute of Management began soon after World War II. The next chapter of this tale is now being written for a world vastly different from the one in which NZIM was originally forged. Reg Birchfield… explains the emergence of NZIM Mark II.
The (Korean) war and its subsequent economic boom highlighted the need to train supervisors and develop managers. NZIM was established for just that purpose. It introduced...
But management stagnated through the later years of the 1960s, and through the 1970s and 1980s…
NZIM is now moving to lift its game and enhance its impact on the management and leadership development market. …Its four separate incorporated societies are moving to form a single legal entity…
Northern and Central held their required authorising Extraordinary General Meetings and held their confirming motion meetings in September 2011.
NZIM Mark ii will have one board and a single chief executive. The move will undoubtedly provide a stronger and more effective leadership structure. Enhanced decision-making and customer service will follow.
“The focus will be on building NZIM capability, its staff and its systems, to deliver relevant and high value services to the management community across the country…"

Report Outlining the Proposed Integration of NZIM into One Legal Entity
The NZIM National Board has identified that NZIM is experiencing variable performance across the organisation and that there is opportunity to address this effectively to ensure NZIM has a sustainable future.
The NZIM National Board… believes there is a strong rationale and business case to now integrate NZIM as one organisation.
The National Board now want to hear whether NZIM Members would be in support of this.
The National Board have established a Steering Committee to manage this process.
- Stage One of the project is to hear whether NZIM Members would be in support of NZIM becoming a single legal entity with all the regions joining the current national legal entity, NZIM Inc. This will open the door for future coordinated development of NZIM overall.
- Stage Two will involve the development of a longer term project plan to strengthen NZIM’s overall capability to deliver on its strategic goals and service to its customers.

LEADERS BUILDING LEADERS
Our aim is to build management capability through, Research, Learning, and Recognition. Our focus is to:
- Research leading management trends and practice and promote a constantly developing model of best management capability for New Zealand.
- Enable managers and aspiring managers to participate in learning programmes, mentoring, and events that provide the information and experience they need to develop their capability.
- To identify leading management role models and provide awards that recognise the career and educational achievements of managers.
NZIM is in the mainstream of management standards development and is committed to continuously improving management education standards in New Zealand. The Institute administers national management educational qualifications through tertiary institutions and secondary schools and undertakes advocacy activities and research.
NZIM is the only integrated body which can develop managers with no previous qualification through to a graduate qualification and also provide ongoing professional development.
NZIM has a management development staircase. The Ascent of Management programme has been developed over many years and is continuously updated in close consultation with industry and the tertiary sector.
NZIM National and Region Boards represent a full cross section of New Zealand business, industry, government, non profit organisations and associations.
NZIM retains external Advisory Panels which constantly review and supervise programme development.
The strength of NZIM is derived from the involvement of Chief Executives, Educationalists, Specialist Advisory Panels and practising managers.
