The strategy profession
Great to see SMS ask if there should be Certification in strategic management. I’ve raise before the need for this to be a truly professional discipline, so we can nail what should be expected of robust leadership of this critical role. A conference session will ask some intriguing questions:
- Is there demand for such a credential? From whom? How large?
- Is the knowledge base of the field sufficiently developed and established to offer a certificate?
- What is the expected value-added?
- Should different levels of certification be considered, e.g. for professionals, trainers/educators, institutions?
- What kind of institutional arrangements would support certification?
- Who should be involved in steering the development and implementation of certification?
- What should be the role of SMS, Universities, executives and consulting firms?
