Demonstrate, practice together, practice on your own

The vision of ‘Make IM Work!’ on providing advice and consultancy in the information provision discipline.
We consider the principle of ‘demonstrate, practice together, practice on your own’ to be of paramount importance. This is the only way to internalize new knowledge and skills. To dream up new things for other people and then assume that they will learn how to do them will never work.
We are aware of the fact that our approach needs a somewhat larger investment than usual. However, the benefit is much greater and it still works after a few years. That is something not all consultancy bureaus can say.
We think of our ‘Make IM Work!’-initiatives as our effort to make information useful and the profession evolving.
