The CIM Marketing Leadership Programme is a great reinforcer of best practice. It encourages you to look critically at what you’re already doing on a day to day basis and refine your efforts. It’s all about knowing what the board will want to see. To me, that’s what the qualification really successfully maps out – the difference between a marketer, and a marketer at board level.
