Businesses trust managers with their resources and results. Professional standards help define the capabilities and responsibilities that should sit behind this trust. 

This BCCD Business Briefing with Chartered Management Institute (CMI) will explore the value of accreditation and professional recognition from the credibility of qualifications and training programmes to the standards businesses should expect from their current and future managers. 

The discussion will explore:

  • How can businesses avoid "Accidental Managers"
  • What accreditation and professional recognition demonstrate about management capability
  • How professional standards can help businesses set clearer expectations when appointing promoting and assessing managers
  • How employers and universities can work together to prepare future managers for the responsibilities of leadership
  • The evidence of practical performance businesses should look for alongside credentials
