The Business Research Project is the final step on the pathway to earning an internationally recognised, nationally accredited Master of Business qualification (MoB).
The BRP is a nine month project which allows you analyse and solve a major business issue facing you and your organisation. The BRP process combines classroom workshops in the IMI, with one-to-one support from a dedicated IMI tutor, and detailed investigation conducted by you.
The output of the process is a 15,000 word report which presents the challenge that you face, a summary of the most contemporary best-practice management ideas that relate to your challenge, and a description of the research you undertook in order to develop an innovative set of recommendations to address the issue. By the end of the process not only will you have earned your Masters, but you’ll have developed an innovative and practical solution to your business challenge.
A good BRP research issue will, by its nature, be of strategic interest to your organisation. This is because BRP issues are typically unanswered business questions which require innovative solutions. Your organisation will directly benefit from the practical, best-practice driven recommendations which will be the output of your research.
To undertake the BRP, you will typically have successfully completed two accredited IMI Diplomas within the past four years. It is however possible in some circumstances to undertake the BRP if you have completed one IMI Diploma over the past four years, and earned 30 level nine credits from another academic institution. These must be recognised by the IMI via our “Recognition of Prior Learning” process. To learn more about recognition of prior learning, contact edel.byrne@imi.ie.
By completing the BRP, you will earn a nationally accredited, internationally recognised Master of Business Qualification. Your qualification will be awarded by University College Cork.

Who Needs a PA? Free Online Tools for Managers
As a manager you need the right information delivered in a succinct and timely manner. It’s easy to feel bombarded by the different data sources competing for our attention in the modern working environment.

Empathy, the ‘hardest’ management skill at work…
Just over a week ago I was sitting in the panel of the IMI Diploma in Leadership audit presentations, as I heard each manger and executive reporting back on their leadership audit journey I found very interesting how many of them recognised empathy as a critical area for development. In my job as facilitator, empathy is the Read On
Unlocking Organisational Power & Performance – Why emotional intelligence is such a critical competence
Hemingway defined courage as ‘grace under pressure’. The ability to remain calm under pressure is a core competency for leaders and front-line staff. I have worked extensively with hospital registrars for over a decade and, for medical professionals, emotional intelligence is absolutely critical. For example, if there is a medical emergency, the Registrar must remain Read On
Stop managing failure, give performance enhancing feedback…
Working with managers across a wide section of industries and sizes, one of the most common question I hear is: “What is the best way to deal with poor performers?” I now recognise this somewhat negative question as a human impulse that surfaces every time we feel threatened, uncertain or frustrated; our brains are just Read On
