Hi

I've just finished an Open University management course which (along with a few years experience) qualified me to join the CMI .  I'm looking forward to continuing my studies and hopefully working towards chartered status eventually. Tim

Hi Tim, congratulations on finishing your course.  How did you find it?

Welcome Tim!

I did a similar thing a few years back - now working toward CMgr; about to submit later this week. There's some good discussions going on around here so keep tuned in and I'm sure it will help you.

Where are you based? I assume you've joined your local Branch?

Hi Tim, good to have you here.  Lots of great discussions about the place.  What kind of thing are you interested in?

I found the course very helpful, it covered the basics of all the functional areas but it was really focussed on developing a reflective approach to management. 

I'm currently continuing my studies with a course on strategy, but I'm curious about most areas.  I've signed up to my local branches in Kent and in the city and look forward to learning from the various discussions.

Sounds good Tim.  http://www.managers.org.uk/kent is the Kent branch page.  Wesley usually has some good stuff going on in there.

Tim, nice to hear from a fellow OU student. How far are you on your Strategy course? I have just completed the MBA. Should you have any questions, I am happy to assist wherever possible.

Happy Days
