NZIM Management Mentoring
The NZIM mission is to enhance managerial and organisational effectiveness in New Zealand and as part of that process, NZIM have introduced a quality controlled mentoring service.
This service uses a detailed process to match applicants or potential Proteges with experienced Managers or Mentors who are also senior members of the NZIM.
The final result of the mentoring service is to assist the protege to achieve their management career goals.
