Developing Managerial Competence (Paperback)

Workplace training and education have increasingly been seen as pivotal factors in improving the abilities, skills and competitiveness of industry. The arrival of the Blair government has given an added impetus to trends which were already becoming established - the Investors in People scheme, EU Works Councils and the Management Charter Initiative.
Of these it was the Management Charter Initiative (MCI) which directly addressed the needs of managers. Developed in the mid-90s under the leadership of Prof. Tom Cannon its aim was to improve managers practical competency in their daily work. Qualification was to be gained by proving managerial competence in work related tasks, rather than by studying for a theoretical, educational qualification such as an MBA or degree.
This book provides a welcome and comprehensive analysis of the MCI within the context of modern management development. The book emphasises the benefits of linking management development with organisational strategy. Features include;
* up to date analysis of how management development can be measured
* the first comprehensive assessment of the impact of using Management Standards
* practical illustrations with sixteen in-depth case studies of contemporary organisations. The book is endorsed by the Management Charter Initiative and has a foreword by Professor Tom Cannon. It will be core reading for any student or practitioner interested in training, HRD and management development.
