  Chartered Management Institute

  Mar 2015 - Dec 2022

  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. 2002 - The Institute of Management was awarded a Royal Charter and became the Chartered Management Institute.

  Facilitator

  The Enterprisers programme is aimed at ambitious and energetic individuals at the initial stages of their entrepreneurial journey, seeking to build self-confidence and better understand the commercial potential of a new idea or business venture.Fun, action-orientated, practical and based on experiential, hands-on learning, Enterprisers challenges participants to unlock their entrepreneurial potential and develop an enterprising culture in any given sector. The programme equips participants with the skills to spot enterprising opportunities, develop self-efficacy and apply more entrepreneurial ways of thinking to any project through a process of knowledge acquisition, implementation, activity and reflection. It supports the formation and growth of effective networks by creating multidisciplinary teams, working on specific ideas in joint collaboration.The results are particularly applicable and valuable to young researchers and start-up businesses, though established mid-sized businesses, large corporate organisations or universities in any sector (public, private or not-for-profit) will also benefit.The programme typically admits 64 students who will go on to participate with, and work alongside, 16 facilitators, three-four panel speakers and a range of entrepreneurial organisations.http://www.wybostonlakes.co.uk/http://www.jbs.cam.ac.uk/entrepreneurship/enterprisers/support-enterprisers/ Show less

  Center for Evidence-Based Management (CEBMa)

  Aug 2018 - now

  Fellow

  The Center for Evidence-Based Management (CEBMa) is the leading authority on evidence-based practice in the field of management and leadership.The starting point for evidence-based management is that management decisions should be based on a combination of critical thinking and the best available evidence. And by ‘evidence’, we mean information, facts or data supporting (or contradicting) a claim, assumption or hypothesis. Evidence may come from scientific research, but internal business information and even professional experience can count as ‘evidence’. In principle, then, all managers base their decisions on ‘evidence’.Many managers, however, pay little or no attention to the quality of the evidence they rely on to make decisions. As a result management decisions are often based on so-called ‘best practice’ and success stories of famous CEOs. Evidence-based practice seeks to address this state of affairs by helping managers to critically evaluate the validity, generalizability and applicability of the evidence they have in hand and how to find the ‘best available’ evidence.
