Questions for Management Professionals (Canada)

danamarich

Hi All,

I have some questions for all you Management Pro's on professional designations, but first a little bit of background.

I'm in Canada, have been spending the last 2 years on a provincial project, will now be the chair-person for a provincial committee now that said project is winding down and becoming integrated in to regular work.

Eventually I would like to make the jump towards supervising and/or management and I'm thinking about getting a designation in management (via Canadian Institute of Management, AKA CIM) starting with a certificate in Management and then on to a Professional Management Designation.

My questions for you management pro's out there: are there other designations geared towards management that you would recommend over a designation with the CIM? For those of you with management certificates/designation, have you found it beneficial with moving up and forward in your careers?

Thanks all; happy Sunday!
