I have been an IIB Associate for more than 3 years and I thank very much the person who maybe unwillingly showed us this website which gives us at last an opportunity to say what we think.
I apologise for not giving my true name, but IIB management threatens anyone who criticizes them of being sued and they would be obviously more powerful than us during the long and costly processes of court.
Mostly everything has been said by my colleagues in the previous message. IIB has a recruitment process which is both attractive and clever (telling people they have been severely selected, and the organisation will allow them to become a successful consultant thanks to the IIB network).
The truth is that anyone, having a small experience and know-how is welcome as long as he can pay.
By the way how successful the IIB associates are?
Nobody knows. IIB is very cautious in not allowing any survey and they have a very efficient process in order to keep silent any unhappy consultant who wants to mean that he is disappointed. If he complains, he will have immediately four IIB management accomplices reprimanding him publicly, stating loudly how satisfied and successful they are thanks to IIB, and that the Associate failure is due to the amount of time he spends complaining instead of working hard. They will claim though a mass-e-mail (mail sent to all associates) that IIB is the best organisation as it was a worldwide admitted obviousness, assuming that only mediocre or lazy people will not succeed within IIB.
In fact, all the Associates I know here have made very little or no business with IIB, some do not renew their subscription after 2 or 3 years, others do but just because they do not want to admit they have lost their entry fees. Personally, I have neither got any business from any IIB Associate, not given any business to any. Fortunately I make some money from other ways.
What is funny is, IIB is supposed to be a non profit organisation, which is probably true for many Associates, but probably not at all for the stakeholders behind it.
