The Value of Continuing Professional Development
All the major respected professional disciplines including Medicine, Law, Accountancy, Auditors, and others have introduced mandatory requirements for Continuing Professional Development.

In order to live up to the increasingly visible and demanding leadership role of the CIO, the profession must meet, and be seen to meet appropriate quality standards.

A structured program of Continuing Professional Development, devised by the profession, to meet the current challenges of the profession will allow us to ensure that our members are aware of, and prepared to address the challenges they will face.

As a consequence of a managed CPD program, our members will be able to be uo-to-date with, and be seen to be up to date with changes in regulatory frameworks, technologies, online business models, emerging technology management techniques, as well as the latest trends in more traditional management disciplines.

A managed regime of quality executive level Professional Development is key to the value the Institute can deliver to the CIO, and fundamental to the value that will become associated with the Institute's Certifications.

Further, it speaks volumes about your personal commitment to self improvement and achieving objectively high standard results - demonstrating leadership by example to your staff and your executive peers.
