Our world is becoming more complex every day. And the complexity of everything makes solving problems more challenging than ever before. Our social, economic and environmental systems are inextricably connected – within our communities and around the world. There are no more easy answers or quick fixes. In this inter-connected reality, progress demands innovation. But not change for the sake of change. We need to transform the way we think to solve the wicked problems. The Institute for Management and Innovation empowers transformational thinking and collaboration and lets us see the world from a new perspective. Integrating people, place and purpose, our students, faculty and researchers come together to create new knowledge and share it with the world. We build leaders and give them the skills they need to harness innovation and apply it in ways that will ultimately create positive impact for people and communities everywhere. Vision To solve the world’s most complex challenges and make it a better place for all. Mission To constantly transform thinking to solve the hardest problems facing people, their communities, and societies globally. Purpose Guided by our IMI culture, values and commitment to diversity and inclusivity, our programs and initiatives encourage collaboration and empower transformational, inter-disciplinary thinking to combine and share knowledge and discover new and better solutions to the world’s wicked problems.

Today we hosted our annual poster presentation event in MMI. We were back to an in person format after a “4 year Olympic hiatus” and today really felt like a wonderful celebration of our program. I am grateful to our “MMI village” for helping make today a truly memorable one. It was a year full of ups, downs and lots of sideways but together WE DID IT! Thank you MMI alum for stepping up and proving that you remember how hard being a student can be. Thank you MMI faculty and instructors for your patience, your flexibility and your dedication to teaching students that although innovation can be messy it is very rewarding. Thank you employer partners for believing in my students and coming through time and time and time again when I reached out to you and asked for help. Thank you UTM community for your willingness to make connections and help grow the MMI network all across our campuses - and country.

Earlier this week, ICUBE's was recognized for its outstanding team work 🥳 In the last couple of years, this campus-linked accelerator has seen incredible growth and continued to introduce new programming in support of underrepresented founders. In this last year alone, ICUBE has supported 125 ventures - 57% of which have at least one female identified founder, and 69% of which are considered social enterprises. ICUBE has also continued to expand its collaboratively organized Indigenous Entrepreneurship program, and has increased collaborations with organizations that amplify work being done by African entrepreneurs, Black founders, Sustainability-focused ventures, and members of the 2SLGBTQ+ community. Thanks to the support of so many mentors, partners, and work study students, ICUBE is going strong. And of course, this very team consisting of: Ignacio Mongrell, Kayla S., Mohammad Tahvili are all committed to enhancing Entrepreneurship at UTM and beyond. This small but mighty teams loves their work and is excited for more great things ahead. Lastly: to Ann Armstrong, the fiercest advocate of all, thank you for such amazing wisdom, support, and leadership.
