The aim of the unit CMI 301 is to introduce the foundations for managers, which will be developed throughout all the level 3 units.

Change is inevitable if an organisation is to maintain competitiveness and currency of practice. Managers are constantly asked to implement change to respond to commercial pressures, legal organisational requirements, efficiencies or improvements. Success often depends on the support given by managers to staff.

The aim of this unit is to enable managers to lead people positively through change. This is achieved by implementing plans which identify ways to make change successful, and gaining the support and trust of individuals and teams.
Whilst the scale, significance and complexity of a project will vary, the principles of carrying out a project will ultimately be the same.

This unit aims to equip managers with the knowledge, tools, and techniques for managing and monitoring projects. It also identifies approaches to managing risk and responding to the needs and expectations of stakeholders.

Managers are increasingly faced with days packed full of meetings that leave little time to get things done.

Delivering presentations can be very challenging. When done successfully, a presentation can lead to a job offer or a new contract. It also has the potential to engage team members to buy-into new ideas, or embrace new projects and opportunities.
