Institute Members

Members of the Institute work in many different sectors, industries and areas investigating, advising on, and implementing solutions to organisational problems. They are particularly concerned with issues of resource allocation and utilisation, and with measuring and improving the effectiveness and efficiency of organisation, systems, processes, methods and procedures.  They are actively involved in designing and installing integrated systems of materials, equipment, people, information and energy to maximise effectiveness.

The particular management services and productivity skills for measurement and quantification, of analysis and critical review, of planning and implementation make our members natural change agents, ideally suited to leading programmes of organisational, technological and cultural change.
