Management development is one of the key challenges facing businesses in the 21st Century. Effective development of your employees' management and leadership skills will make them more effective and transform your organisation.
Improving the quality of leadership and management in the UK is one of the most important challenges we face today. Good leadership and management matters. It matters for individuals trying to carve out successful careers in the modern workplace. It matters for organisations trying to compete in a global marketplace. It matters for the prosperity of the UK economy.
There is strong evidence linking effective leadership and management to a range of key factors in business and economic success, including innovation, employee engagement, and individual and organisational productivity and performance.
ILM provides a variety of flexible development solutions to meet employees' needs and to develop your management team. This is provided through our fast-growing portfolio of specialist qualifications and the range of practical benefits offered through ILM membership.
Flexible qualifications
ILM’s unit-based qualifications portfolio gives employers and training providers the unprecedented flexibility to pick and mix units and so build qualifications to meet their specific training needs. All of the accredited qualifications are placed on the National Qualifications Framework (NQF) and qualify for public funding, being part of this framework also brings closer alignment to foundation, graduate and masters degrees within the higher education qualifications.
