2021 Winners Outstanding Innovation of the Year
The Outstanding Innovation and Delivery Award represents excellent student employability, an enriched student experience and professional recognition by a provider which has made the best of a CMI partnership.
Congratulations to our 2021 Award Winner
Accipio has been selected as the winner for this Award due to their original take on Management and Leadership training for the College of Policing. This organisation created a training eco-system that would deliver a range of development opportunities over time. It was designed to enhancing leadership development in policing. Within this training, Accipio worked with CMI to offer Management and Leadership qualifications at Levels 5 to 8. The partnership aimed to contextualise Policing and provide a consistent framework of attainment that would inspire behavioural changes for learners on the programme.
We are thrilled to be shortlisted for the prestigious CMI Awards. Innovation is in our DNA, so this category means a lot to us. By building an eco-system for leadership in Policing, we have produced something world-class which can be applied to other sectors and organisations.

The 2021 honourable mention...
Challenges Catalyst, part of The Challenges Group of social businesses, has put forward their team working on the Making Work Work programme for this Award. Making Work Work was designed to help women returners gain the employability skills and confidence needed to re-enter the workplace after a career break. This programme integrated CMI content and training into their remote delivery of training to 16 participants across Scotland. Challenges Catalyst have been shortlisted for demonstrating how innovation can be harnessed to break down barriers for underrepresented groups in the workplace.
It feels brilliant to be shortlisted, especially after such a tough 18 months. Having worked with CMI for 13 years, the whole staff team is delighted to have its approach to learning and innovation recognised, and we cannot wait to see what the future holds.
