Delivering on our Mission
With a wealth of practical qualifications, events, and networking opportunities on offer, we help people boost their career prospects and connect them with other ambitious professionals across all industries and sectors. In fact, we have more than 100k people training to be better managers right now.
Backed by a unique Royal Charter, we are the only organisation that can award Chartered Manager status – the ultimate management accolade.
Our thought leadership, research and online resources provide practical insight for both today’s leaders and the next generation. This insight also means we can confidently represent our 180,000 plus membership community when speaking to policy makers.
This is all in aid of one simple goal: to increase the number and standard of professionally qualified managers.
Our Royal Charter
Established in 1947 as the British Institute of Management, CMI was founded in the wake of the Second World War to help rebuild British industry. Our goal remains the same today as it was then: to raise the quality and standard of management in the workplace. Having developed the very first diploma in management studies, we have remained at the forefront of management training and thinking ever since.
In 2002, Her Majesty’s Privy Council granted our Royal Charter, designating CMI as the standard-bearer for the profession of management, meaning we are the only organisation able to award Chartered status.
The objects of the Institute shall be to promote for the public benefit the art and science of management in relation to the applied sciences, the arts, the trades and professions, the administration of government and public service, industry and commerce
