Students of the Year Recognised at the MoD’s annual Logistics Awards Dinner.
CMI was proud to be part of the MoD's annual Logistics Awards Dinner event at the RAF College Cranwell in October. Lincoln University celebrated a cohort of 11 successful graduates completing theMSc Logistics Management (Defence Logistics Staff Course) which is accredited to CMILevel 7 Diploma qualification.
CMI joined BAES, Rolls Royce, Augusta Westland, CIPS& CILT in sponsoring the awards. Steve Heappey, Director of qualifications and service delivery at Chartered Management Institute (CMI), handed two special CMI awards to Flight Lieutenant Angela Howard and Flight Lieutenant Nathan Holmes as students of the year in 2014 and 2015 respectively.
Flight Lieutenant Nathan Holmes joined the RAF in 2004 before graduating from Supply Officer Training in 2005. In the subsequent 10 years his career has been varied and fulfilling. He has experienced and performed within core Logistic functions such as Logistic Information Systems, Inventory and Supply Chain Management as well as practical and theoretical Air movements. As such he has seen and witnessed the complex RAF supply chain at all stages and, more crucially for the CMI, has frequently been required to lead and manage upwards of 60 personnel tasked with delivering logistic output, sometimes under the most arduous of conditions whilst on Operations.
The University of Lincoln is very proud of the close academic partnership that it has developed with CMI. Our engagement with the Institute means that our programmes are based on a clear appreciation of the on-going strategic challenges that professional managers must be prepared to face up to, and the mapping of our courses against CMI awards has created a number of terrific opportunities for our students to achieve appropriate professional recognition as they complete their academic studies.
It was great to celebrate in such style, now 12 cohorts of servicemen - more than 200 over the last 6 years developing their management skills through our partnership with the University of Lincoln. Angela and Nathan epitomise the determination of dedicated airmen, soldiers, sailors and support staff to continually improve their skills and leadership in some of the most challenging situations any manager can find themselves in.
This course has really helped me to provide a new insight into the importance of strategic leadership and management, as well as providing skills, tools and academic models that will undoubtedly assist me in my decision making.
