IHMA Strategic Priorities
| Strategic Pillar | Strategic Priority |
| 1. Research | Advance Humanistic Management (HM) research activities globally by convening researchers and establishing classifications, research approaches, and findings that will develop and spread HM research, education, practice, and policy. We work through our research groups, the PRME HM Working Group, partner with conferences, host our own conferences, and develop global partnerships, supported by the Humanistic Management Journal published by SpringerNature. Our partners are the Harvard Human Flourishing Program, the PRME Network, SpringerNature and our global fellow network. |
| 2. Education | Transform business education at a global scale to center on protecting human dignity and promoting human flourishing through good human work, by creating partnerships and accelerating curriculum transformation, faculty development, and institutional development that will foster caring leaders and positive changemakers. Through the Humanistic Leadership Academy, we are offering certifications and personal development opportunities globally. Our partners here are the Club of Rome, UN PRME, Presencing Institute, and many other schools and partners. |
| 3. Practice | Build and accelerate adoption of HM mindsets, language, values, skills, norms, and practices across management practice. We are hosting practitioner workshops in various locations and through the Humanistic Leadership Academy. |
| 4. Policy | Convene and support policy-makers to create and sustain an economy in support of life. |
5. Field & Association Building | Build the strategic partnerships, personnel support, financial resources, and association infrastructure necessary to achieve IHMA strategic priorities and foster a thriving HM field and ecosystem. |
