Time Manager International, TMI, was founded in Denmark by Claus Møller in 1975 and is today a world-leading learning consultancy.

The first product launched by TMI was the Time Manager®, a goal-based planning tool with a unique philosophy and the first in the world of its kind. It was originally marketed as a tangible product, but a Time Manager training programme was soon developed to accompany its introduction to new users. The programme was not just on managing time, but also lifestyle, attitudes, people. The Time Manager concept soon developed into a unique philosophy that has become known and recognised all over the world.

In 1982, another cornerstone of TMI's success was laid down: the Putting People First (PPF) programme, an exceptional Service Management programme that has helped numerous organisations from a wide variety of industries to create remarkable results and gain international recognition and even awards for excellent service quality.

TMI itself has achieved international recognition for its quality concept, The Human Side of Quality, which was launched in 1988. It has been described by the British Department of Trade and Industry and the European Organisation for Quality as one of the best contributions to quality development in the world.

Another TMI key innovation is the Employeeship concept, launched in 1992. In plain terms, Employeeship is what it takes to be a good employee. While most management theories concentrate on what it takes to be a good manager, placing the responsibility for both success and failure on the manager's shoulders and overlooking the importance of the contribution of everybody else in the organisation, Employeeship recognises the importance of everybody – managers and staff. By implementing this concept, numerous organisations have mobilised the positive energy of all employees and promoted everyone's responsibility, loyalty and initiative.

The Heart Work concept, launched in 1999, has made TMI a major player in the corporate application of Emotional Intelligence (EI). Heart Work is about improving organisational performance and achieving better results by developing and applying the emotional intelligence of employees and of the entire organisation.

In 2002 TMI launched a unique education for executives, Practical Leadership, covering the complete relevant curriculum for leaders in both the private and public sectors in one week of condensed learning in a small group environment with experienced and like-minded individuals. The education is focused on how to solve specific problems and achieve results in everyday life and attendees will be given concrete advice and practical tools to identify and develop their own potentials as leaders.

Today TMI is one of the world’s largest and best-respected learning consultancies with resource centres in close to 40 countries. Every year more than 200,000 people from large and small organisations all over the world attend TMI programmes to learn how to better manage their time, people and performance, to deliver exceptional service and quality – and to manage culture change. TMI has won a number of awards and accolades for contributions to management thinking and practice.
