High quality management – key to success in these challenging times

Ambition

UK – a world class nation by 2020; in the top 8 countries in the world for skills, jobs and productivity*

However

• We are just short of being world class in terms of employment (jobs) – we were ranked 10th; and productivity – where we were ranked 11th.  • Regarding skills, despite significant progress in recent years we were ranked 12th, 18th and 17th on high, intermediate and low level skills respectively.  • We will not achieve our world class ambition in the area of skills if things remain as they are.

* UKCES’ 2010 report

Raising the skill levels of the UK workforce.

• 44% increase (3 million) in numbers achieving high level qualifications

• Numbers without any qualifications declined by more than 1.5 million or 26%. But more needs to be done for:

• The UK invest less in management development than almost every other European country • Organisations which do not train and develop their people are 2.5 times more likely to fail than those that do

Some facts

Lifelong Learning UK ceased as an SSC on 31 March 2011 and transferred activities to the Learning and Skills Improvement Service (LSIS)

LSIS to continue focus on standards, qualifications and frameworks

LLUK’s last report* highlighted UK’s skills priorities as:

• Collaboration and partnership working

• Skills relating to the utilisation of e-technology

• Management skills

• Basic skills of literacy and numeracy as well as ICT skills

• Welsh language skills across Wales

• Transferable skills, including communications, interpersonal and ICT skills

• Skills relating to strategic leadership and planning

Focus on skills

Skills & Employability• Improving ability of graduates to transfer to the workplace

• CMI employer research shows that: - 67% do not believe graduates have the necessary employability skills - 49% say young people are not adequately prepared for managing others - 50% say that management skills should be taught in schools

• HE & FE need to look at developing management skills as part of the traditional degree

Managers are the largest occupational group and will continue to be so in the future. The number of managers across the UK

is forecast to rise from 3m in 2007 to 3.6m by 2020.(previously 4.8 million to 5.7 million)

 By 2020 managers and senior officials will make up 11.1 per

cent of all those employed.  

1.1 million managerial jobs have been created since the turn of the 21st century, making it the fastest growing occupational

group. 1.9 million required up to 2020

The future

Only 1 in 5 managers are qualified

Only 1 in 3 organisations provide management or supervisory training

63% have no formal training

36% of employers say their managers are not proficient

70% of managers have witnessed bullying in their workplaces in the past 3 years

30% of managers believe the management style within their organisation is authoritarian

Top 3 prevailing management styles in the UK are authoritarian, reactive and bureaucratic

What’s new?

Durham Business School

Durham Business School runs one of CMI’s most successful qualifications centres and offers CMI’s qualifications in parallel with its own.

Programme Director Richard Whitaker believes this adds to the business school’s success.

He also finds that providing the CMI qualifications alongside the academic ones gives students an alternative route: “The two types of qualification work well together”, he says. “This approach of combining qualifications also helps with programme promotion, as the benefits of both sets of qualifications can be stressed.”
