Others come and go, but the CMI has been backing professional managers for more than 60 years.
And the reason we’ve stood the test of time is we’ve got our eye on the ball.
Our ability to understand managers’ needs was evident from the start in the 1950s when we developed the UK’s first diploma in management studies. We’ve continued to be at the forefront of management training.
And just as an advocate should, we’ve pushed the cause for professionalising management ever since.
So it’s no wonder that it’s us that now sets the UK’s standards for management and leadership.
Unsurprisingly we’ve had a few names in the past beginning with the British Institute of Management to the Institute of Management in the 1990s.
In 2002, our excellence was recognised with Chartered status. So these days we’re best known simply as CMI.
Think of it as a kitemark for quality. We do.
