Introduction
Develop a business plan and build a team with this online course from The Open University and CMI.
This course is part of the Management and Leadership, Essentials program, which will enable you to earn a CMI Level 5 Award – the first step to Chartered Manager status.
Develop a business plan and build an effective team
Developing plans – and building, supporting, growing and improving teams to deliver them – is a key part of management and leadership. This online course will show you how.
It has been developed by The Open University Business School – a pioneering institution that is triple-accredited by AMBA, EQUIS and AACSB – and the Chartered Management Institute (CMI) – the leading authority on management and leadership in the UK.
As such, it will give you the opportunity to learn from both academic experts and experienced practitioners, who have achieved the CMI’s prestigious Chartered Manager status.
