United States As an Executive Associate ( AInstIB ) you will be operating your own independent consultancy / advisory practice but you will become part of the unique global community of Associates - the IIB Alumni™ - to support the work you do.
Your role will be to support and advise Managing Directors / Owners (MDOs) of mostly small to medium sized businesses. Your appointments will generally be with an MDO who has wishes to speak to an Executive Associate about their problems, needs, concerns, or plans. On average this initial appointment normally lasts between 1 to 3 hours.
With your experience together with training provided by the Institute, you will be able to provide support and mentoring whenever and wherever business owners need it. Becoming part of the IIB Alumni™, with access to the global network of knowledge, skills, experience and contacts - you will have what is undoubtedly the most comprehensive business support infrastructure in the world to help you and your clients.
You may be mentoring up to 10 - 12 different businesses at any one time, as well as being contracted into other accredited Associate's clients on specialist assignments. However, you may wish to mentor a smaller number of businesses. Associates are free to choose their own assignment load and to work on a part time or full time basis.
By working as a self-employed, independent Business Advisor or Consultant, you have the freedom to control your own hours, income and destiny without the usual controls and politics of employment.
Some accredited Associates have already taken early retirement and only want to work part time. Others are experienced consultants with an established client base who use the IIB Alumni™ to top up their workload. Some end up working closely with a single client and take a permanent executive or non-executive director role.
It is this very flexibility that makes running your own independent consultancy or advisory practice so attractive, with the training and methodology provided by the Institute and the support of the established network of Associates, enabling you to grow your business more quickly than by going it alone.
