Issue Management Council

Location

Leesburg, Virginia, USA

Profile

The Issue Management Council is the professional membership organization for people whose work is managing issues and those who wish to advance the discipline. Several organizations are partners with the Issue Management Council in advancing the concept and disciplines of issue management. Their management example and financial contributions to the IMC make it possible for a larger number of practitioners to learn how to better anticipate and resolve issues.

Mission

Helping members anticipate and successfully resolve issues through effective management processes.

Services

• Books and Newsletters: The IMC provides a variety of issue management literature in the form of books, newsletters and other materials through its publishing affiliate, Issue Action Publications, Inc.
• Speech Compendium: The Issue Management Council (IMC) announces the semi-annual update of "A Compendium of Speeches on the Issue Management Process," with more than 150 speeches delivered on the subject of issue management in the past two decades. Many of the texts also include presentation slides and graphics, and unless the materials are copyrighted by the authors, are available from the IMC. Researchers and practitioners will find descriptions of management processes, analysis methodologies, communications vehicles, and planning - all focused on integrating issue considerations into corporate decision-making.
• Research Products: Some of the most innovative thoughts about issue management come from research conducted at leading universities. In the interest of advancing the field's disciplines, the Issue Management Council (IMC) sponsors a series of Issue Management Research Monographs. Abridged to an easily readable length, these studies are a benefit of membership for individuals who are members of the IMC.
