Socially conscious business meets organizational excellence.
Bridges you build.
The equation is simple. Your organization gets cutting edge, adventurous organizational development training and a community group in your area gets in-kind programming.
Envision your community's shared capacity
How it works
Your Organizational Training >> A Community Organization of Your Choice >> Sustained Capacity
Socially conscious business practices? Access Building? Future internships? Workforce Development? Giving Back? Investment in equity?
Yes, yes it is.
Developing your organization.
Project Imo works with you to create deeply impactful organizational development training. This isn't a stock digital assessment and building the Leaning Tower out of toothpicks and gumdrops. This is customized organizational success outcomes through a canoe expedition, a challenge course, a day of service, or even a rigorous hike or a saunter in the woods. Board of Directors Bushcraft 101? Done.
Building your community's capacity.
Project Imo works with your team to identify under-resources partner organizations in your community. We'll help connect your organizations for Project Imo programs of their choosing. The money you spend on your development training is split 50%-50%, with one half being services rendered for development and the other half being a contribution to a community partner's success.
Sharing your community's capacity
We'll arrange the logistic of your partner agency's day and, if all parties are interested, we'll even train some of your staff to help Project Imo facilitate their program. Imagine members of your team helping to develop youth leaders in a day of portable adventure or leading a day of service with a local charitable group. Imagine what that means for everyone.
Converting your community's future
The Corporate Community Partnership programs are only the beginning. Team Imo loves us a good canoeing trip but we're in it like you, for the long game. Communities need long term access to success to drive impactful change. After your programs, Project Imo will help keep the dialogue open between your organization and your community partners. Does this mean future collaborations? Does it mean potential internships for aspiring talent? Does it mean that your workforce has developed a dedicated, community-oriented perspective that makes your organization stand out as a leader? That's entirely up to you.
Let's go build bridges in your community together.
Your team. Your community.
Your Program
How does a kayak or a quinzhee help my business?
Imagine a group of people trying to work together around the conference room. They individually have some great ideas, and each bring a passion to the group, but they can’t work together as well as they could. Each is bringing skills and talent to the table, but they can’t cooperate effectively. What does that group look like to you? Take a moment and envision their demeanor and affect in a meeting? Does this look familiar to you? How effective will that group be at achieving their goals?
Now take a moment to see your group achieving great things together. There’s shared LEADERSHIP, clear and common PURPOSE, strength of CHARACTER, good COMMUNICATION, job SATISFACTION, and mutual RESPECT. What does that look like? Imagine what the BENEFITS of that might look like?
It happens, to be sure, but how can be make it happen CONSISTENTLY in our teams, our groups, and even communities? How can we make that endure not just for the next quarter but for the next quarter century? For today and for tomorrow and the next generation of leaders bringing your group success?
We work with your organizational mission and values
These are your formal statements of being. The bedrock of your organization. At the highest levels, this is who you want to be. Think of this as your organization's skeletal framework. The steel girders. It gives you purpose and form.
Transitioning form into substance
Project Imo's experienced, multidisciplinary organizational management facilitators will help you translate your mission and values into specific outcomes through adventure. Through shared experience, people build affinity and culture. This culture is the energy of your organization. The nerve centers.
Organizational culture in action
This is where the axe meets the grindstone. The culture of an organization drives every aspect of the formal scaffolding from mission and values. How we focus our energy every day matters. How well different aspects of our organization work together is exactly what makes us successful or not. This is the muscle of your organization. This is the action.
Putting it all together
You have your framework. You've nurtured your nerve centers. You've decided to take action. This is where we come in. Project Imo helps translate your frameworks into achievable daily actions. We've run thousands of hours of experiential programming. Corporate partners. Military leadership. Sports teams. Government agencies. Faith groups. At the heart of it, people are people and there are certain things that make us tick. We'll engage the group dynamic in practical ways toward identifiable outcomes and help your crew circle their lessons-learned back to your office. This is the heart of experiential learning and it works.
What potential can you unlock with that?
Change your business' place in the world.
