IMI RESEARCH STRATEGY 2008-10

This is the Research Strategy adopted by The Institute of the Motor Industry (IMI) to ensure the achievement of desired outcomes contained in the IMI Strategic Plan 2007-10 and IMI Business Plan 2008-09.

The Research Strategy is a high-level plan covering the period 2008-10 thereby aligned to the IMI Strategic Plan.  It is supplemented by annual IMI research plans which link directly to IMI’s annual business plans and IMI departmental plans. 

The Strategy is based on the assumption that research is only undertaken to enable the IMI to achieve its corporate objectives.  Research is not considered to be an end in itself.  Hence, the expected outputs of any research activity are an important factor in deciding whether to undertake the activity. 

Research must contribute to the achievement of IMI’s 5 Big Wins in the areas of:

1. Management and leadership
2. Adult learning
3. 14-19 year old provision
4. Careers and continuing professional development (CPD)
5. Sector Qualifications Strategy (SQS)
