Since the IMPM is a partnership consisting of five business schools, participants have a wealth of resources available to them and, in particular, more than 75 faculty members. The list of luminaries includes the program’s co-founder, the iconoclastic Henry Mintzberg, John Cleghorn Professor of Management Studies at McGill University's Desautels Faculty of Management, in Montreal. As a strong believer in providing management education to people actually working as managers, his philosophy serves as the very foundation of the IMPM.
