The case for integration
• Too many managers remain unqualified
• 1 in 5 managers in the UK have had no professional
management training in their career
• Managers themselves are committed to professional
development, but they require the support of the organisation
• Our research shows that organisations which invest wisely
in L&D interventions, are more effective and perform better
• If we provide HE with the necessary routes for progression
to M&L qualifications, we will build the pipeline of future
managers
The case for integration
• CMI is working closely with HE to offer added value and a
USP to their under & post graduate programme
•This is done by mapping the programmes into CMI
professional qualifications at appropriate levels
• Students leaving then have 2 qualifications
• This begins their journey to chartered status (the pinnacle of
a manager’s career)
• CMI can now embed Chartered Manager status into the
qualification
• Chartered Status offers recognition of the consistent delivery
of business improvement delivered throughout their career –
they are making a difference on a daily basis
The case for integration
• CMI has historically, and continues to form strategic
partnerships with HE (CASS, Oxford Brookes, Greenwich
University)
• We offer students ongoing support through our class leading
management & leadership library and on-line resources
•These provide students with the tools to help them formulate
best practice and ease them into employment
•When starting in their first roles, they possess the knowledge
to begin managing others with confidence
• They will feel less intimidated when tasked with ‘managing’
in their first roles
The case for integration
• CMI offers a holistic approach for HE to work with us
• Mapping of the programme is front-loaded and signposted
from the beginning of the student journey
• This ensures students are fully aware that what they are
undertaking provides them with competence aligned to the
National Occupational Standard for Management &
Leadership
• Support is available through our membership – which all
studying members can have access to
