International affilations

The CMI has many international affiliations, both informal and formal.

Discussions take place on a regular basis with peer Institutes in Europe and the rest of the world, to identify areas of mutual co-operation and to learn from each other.  Discussions are ongoing with the Malta Institute of Management, the Hellenic Management Association and the Australian Institute of Management, for example.

EMA launched its first research report in 2006 - The European Manager - the result of research conducted amongst managers in Germany, Lithuania, Malta, Spain and the UK.

The Future of Work and Management 2020 in Europe is the latest research published by EMA in May 2010.  Building on CMI research in 2008, EMA members in Greece, Lithuania and Romania took up the challenge to look into their own future world of management and leadership.  The report consolidates and compares the findings across all four countries.

The two key questions are:

  • What will the world of work and management look like in 2020?
  • What do we need to start doing to enable business leaders to deal with tomorrow?

The study, co-ordinated on EMA's behalf by FutureManagementGroup, undertook to distinguish between different views of the future: the probable future (assumptions), the possible future (opportunities), the desired future (vision), the unexpected future (surprises) and the planned and created future (strategies).

For the managers and leaders taking part in the research, the key areas of focus for organisations and individuals are:

  • For business markets - knowledge is key
  • For business modesl - flexibility is key
  • For management needs - awareness is key
  • For society - humanity is key
  • For an individual's work needs - motivation is key
  • For one's private needs - support is key

The participants represnting the various EMA members each have a different 'take' on the future vision:

  • Greece feels the influence of uncontrollable external forces such as large corporations, national debt and water shortage
  • Lithuania hopes for a new, better and more digital world entering reality through surprise events
  • Romania sees surprise events leading to a people oriented world
  • The UK sees both the influence of uncontrollable external forces such as cyber attacks and environmental catastrophes, as well as internal forces including an ageing population and the growth of a people oriented world
