Chartered Management Institute

The Chartered Management Institute (CMI) is the only chartered professional body in the UK dedicated to promoting the highest standards of management and leadership excellence. CMI provides managers and leaders, and the organisations they work in, the tools they need to improve their performance and make an impact.

Ruth Spellman, CMI’s chief executive, says: "CMI is delighted to sponsor this year’s National Training Awards. The economic, political and social challenges we face as the world emerges from recession demand a radical new approach to management and leadership. Organisations simply cannot survive – or thrive – without a trained and qualified workforce. If organisations are truly to become employers of choice, engage their staff and build competitiveness, it is imperative that the skills deficit is tackled. The National Training Awards recognise the value that training brings to individuals and their employers. We are committed to playing our part in their development and we applaud those who are determined to foster a culture in which the growth of skills is a priority."
