All Party Group on Management
All-Party Parliamentary Group on Management
The All-Party Parliamentary Group on Management (APPGM) exists to help develop closer understanding between politicians, business leaders and senior public sector managers.
Supported by CMI, the APPGM's well-attended quarterly meetings provide a lively forum for high-level debate on topical management and leadership themes, introduced by high profile guest speakers, including Ministers and Shadow Ministers, business leaders and academic experts.
Members of the Group receive regular news updates on management-related issues, and are invited to contribute to the Chartered Management Institute's bimonthly journal, Professional Manager, which has a readership of over 100,000.
The Group has been running for over twenty-five years and was formally registered at the House of Commons in July 2001. It currently has over ninety members.

APPGM's Special Economic Debate - 9 March, Committee Room 4a, House of Lords, 7:00pm
The APPGM will be hosting a very special event in the form of a debate on the economy on the evening of 9 March. The proposition to be argued is: "This group believes that debt reduction must be accelerated". The motion is being proposed by Lord Burns, Chairman of Santander UK, who also recently became Chair of Channel 4, and opposed by Lord Eatwell, President of Queens' College Cambridge, and CMI's Chief Economic Adviser. The debate will be chaired by Ruth Spellman OBE, Chief Executive of CMI.
The event will offer a great opportunity to hear two leading economists debate their views on the future of economic policy and how it will impact on managers. If you are interested in attending this event, please contact Ian Palmer on 020 7421 4247, or email him at ian.palmer@managers.org.uk.

A Better Managed Britain: APPGM meeting, 10 November 2009
The APPGM hosted a cross-party debate on closing the UK's management and leadership skills gap in Portcullis House on the evening of 10 November 2009, as CMI launched its Manifesto for a Better Managed Britain.
CMI's Manifesto calls on Government to make developing effective managers and leaders a national priority – but it also calls for action from employers and individual managers. It argues that we need a transformation of our management and leadership performance to meet the economic, social and political challenges facing Britain.
Speakers included Ian Lucas MP, a junior minister in the Department for Business, Innovation, and Skills; John Thurso MP, Liberal Democrat shadow secretary of state for Business; John Hayes MP, shadow minister for universities and skills; and Ruth Spellman OBE CCMI, CMI's Chief Executive.
