The Working Week 58

This week, Wayne is joined from London by Ruth Spellman, the new chief executive of the Chartered Management Institute, one of the UK's longest-standing professional bodies for management.

They explore what can be done to help and support managers in the 21st century as well as how management development and training initiatives can address specific skill-gaps.

They also discuss what direction business education will move in over the next. Will MBAs remain as popular as they are today, or are they losing their relevance as the workplace changes?

Ruth joined the Institute from the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, where she was also chief executive. She previously served as chief executive of Investors in People UK, HR Director for the NSPCC and a business development consultant with Coopers and Lybrand. She is a FCIPD and an OBE.

In the 1990s, she was HR Director for the NSPCC, the UK's largest children's charity, where she was responsible for HR strategy, change management, resourcing strategy, employee communications, external communications and media relations.
