Chartered Manager (CMgr)

edit

The Chartered Manager process requires candidates to demonstrate how they have developed as a manager and how they have applied their leadership and management skills to achieve significant business impact. Following an application, successful candidate are entitled to use the designatory post-nominal letters of CMgr.

There are two routes to becoming Chartered:[3]

  • Assessment Route - Available to those who have completed a degree level qualification in management with at least three years managerial experience or for those without degree qualification to have a minimum of five years relevant experience.
  • Fast Track Route - Available to those who hold at least a CMI Level 5 Diploma with at least three years of relevant managerial experience.

Candidate who have less than 3 years managerial experience might be given the Foundation Chartered status, which requires a management qualification at a degree/non-degree level equivalent to at least CMI Level 3,4 or 5 and/or CMI Level 6 and 7. This grade carries entitlement to use the designatory post-nominal letters of fCMgr.[4]

Criteria and requirements for chartered status in the UK have to be approved by the Privy Council; as such the criteria for Chartered Manager designation are "broadly similar" to chartered statuses in other fields.[5]

History

Timeline

  • 1945 - Sir Stafford Cripps, the president of the Board of Trade appointed a Committee, under the chairmanship of Sir Clive Baillieu (president of the Federation of British Industries - the forerunner of the CBS) to formulate detailed proposals for the establishment of a central institution for all aspects related to management. One of the reasons behind this move was the realisation that, although there were professional bodies representing functional activities, there was no comparable body for general management thinking and for the development and promotion of better management.[6]
  • 1947 or 1948 - Following the recommendations of the Baillieu Report, the British Institute of Management (BIM) was formed (sources differ as to the exact year).[6][7][8]

  • 1987 - The BIM, in conjunction with other bodies, issued two pivotal reports, The making of British managers (John Constable and Roger McCormick), and The making of managers (Charles Handy). These reports led to the formation of the National Forum for Management Education and Development (NFMED) and, subsequently, the Management Charter Initiative (MCI), which spearheaded the issue of the world's first competency-based national management standards.
  • 1992 - BIM merged with the Institution of Industrial Managers (IIM) to form the Institute of Management (IM). The awarding body status of the IIM was transferred to the new Institute.[6]
