WHAT IF

What if finding the right expertise didn’t mean months of searching, interviewing, and hoping it’s the right fit?

Mission-driven work is complex.
Sometimes you need a specialist. Sometimes you need fresh perspective. Sometimes you need extra capacity. And sometimes you’re not even sure what kind of support would help most.

Hiring can be slow. Traditional recruitment is often too rigid. And relying only on your existing network means missing expertise you didn’t know existed.

IMMA helps you access trusted experts, strategic thinking partners, and fresh perspectives through carefully curated introductions and diagnostic conversations.

Whether you’re exploring a new direction, solving a specific challenge, or looking for ongoing support, we’ll help you identify the expertise you need and connect you with the right people at the right time.

Meet Ivor

When an agency needed a senior healthcare designer, IMMA introduced them to Ivor.
The project was a natural fit. But the real value wasn’t simply finding the right expert.
It was gaining access to someone connected to a wider ecosystem of trusted peers, perspectives, and expertise.

“You might hire one person, but you’re also hiring a way of working.”

Explore the challenge

Not sure exactly what support you need?

When you’re moving fast, it’s not always obvious what’s actually blocking progress. You know something needs attention, but you’re not sure whether the answer is strategy, operations, leadership, product, communications, fundraising, team dynamics, or something else entirely.

Founders and leaders navigating growth, change, or complexity who want clarity before investing time, budget, or energy in the wrong solution.

We’ll help you unpack the challenge, identify priorities, and determine what kind of expertise would be most useful.
Where relevant, we’ll recommend experts, sessions, or next steps from within the IMMA ecosystem.

  • Clarity on the challenge you’re trying to solve
  • A clearer sense of what support would help most
  • Recommended next steps and relevant introductions

Access expert insight

Need an experienced perspective before making a decision?

Some IMMA experts offer focused strategy sessions, audits, diagnostics, and workshops designed to help you pressure-test ideas, strengthen plans, and uncover opportunities you might otherwise miss.
It’s a practical way to access senior expertise before committing to a larger project or engagement.

Mission-driven teams looking for specialist insight, external perspective, or expert feedback on a specific challenge, decision, or opportunity.

Sessions may focus on areas such as strategy, marketing, fundraising, operations, team dynamics, customer experience, AI, leadership, or organizational effectiveness.

You’ll work directly with experienced practitioners to explore options, challenge assumptions, and identify practical next steps.

  • Fresh perspective on a specific challenge
  • Actionable recommendations from experienced practitioners
  • Greater confidence in your next decision or direction

Is IMMA right for my business?
The answers to all your questions…

IMMA connects organizations with experienced independent experts across sustainability, strategy, communications, leadership, operations, design, product, research, innovation, AI, data, and systems change.

Our members include consultants, facilitators, coaches, researchers, strategists, designers, fractional leaders, former founders, nonprofit operators, and specialists who have built deep expertise through years of professional experience before choosing independence.

Many have worked with organizations such as startups, nonprofits, charities, foundations, social enterprises, public institutions, consultancies, and global companies. Most bring 10–25+ years of experience and a proven track record of delivering meaningful work.

Every expert is carefully vetted for both expertise and values alignment, so you can trust not only what they do, but how they work.

Our network includes:

Sustainability & Impact
Climate, ESG, circularity, adaptation, impact measurement

Leadership & Organizations
Executive coaching, facilitation, culture, team development

Strategy & Innovation
Systems change, foresight, innovation, transformation

Brand & Communications
Storytelling, communications, PR, behavior change

Product, Design & Technology
UX, service design, AI, digital transformation

Operations & Fractional Leadership
Operations, project delivery, PMO, advisory support

IMMA isn’t a marketplace, recruiter, or traditional consulting agency.

Instead of posting a role, reviewing hundreds of profiles, and hoping someone is a fit, you start with the challenge you’re trying to solve.

We help clarify what support would be most useful and introduce you to carefully selected experts who match your goals, working style, timeline, and values.

Because our members know and trust each other, recommendations are based on real working relationships—not algorithms, keywords, or job-board profiles.

The goal isn’t simply to fill a role. It’s to help you find the right expertise and move important work forward.

IMMA helps organizations navigate growth, change, and complexity by connecting them with the expertise they need to move important work forward.

Common areas include:

  • Sustainability and impact strategy
  • Leadership, culture, and team development
  • Organizational change and transformation
  • Brand, communications, and storytelling
  • Product, service, and user experience design
  • Operations, delivery, and fractional leadership
  • AI, digital transformation, and innovation

If you’re unsure whether your challenge is a fit, start a conversation. Often the first step is helping you identify what kind of expertise would be most useful.

That’s completely normal.

Many organizations come to IMMA knowing they need help, but not knowing exactly what expertise would make the biggest difference.

Sometimes the challenge looks like a communications issue but is actually a strategy problem. Sometimes a team thinks they need a consultant when what they really need is a facilitator, researcher, coach, or fractional leader.

We’ll help you unpack the challenge, identify the biggest leverage points, and determine what kind of support is most likely to move things forward.

Often, finding the right question is just as valuable as finding the right expert.

You tell us about the challenge, opportunity, or project you’re working on. We learn about your goals, timeline, budget, and any constraints that matter.

Based on that conversation, we identify relevant experts from within the ecosystem and make carefully curated introductions. You meet directly with the people we recommend and decide whether there’s a fit.

If you choose to work together, the relationship is between you and the expert. IMMA simply helps create the connection and reduce the time, uncertainty, and risk involved in finding the right support.

Get the right support

There is no cost to start a conversation or explore whether IMMA can help.

We don’t charge organizations for introductions. Our role is to help you identify the support you need and connect you with trusted experts from within the ecosystem.

Many IMMA experts offer introductory sessions, diagnostics, workshops, audits, or pilot engagements—some at reduced rates or no cost—as a way to explore fit, test ideas, and create value before committing to a larger project.

If you decide to work together, you contract directly with the expert. Pricing is transparent and tailored to the scope of work, giving you access to senior expertise without platform fees, agency markups, or unnecessary complexity.
