Congratulations to our newest group of Chartered Practitioners. Chartership is something you earn, and it reflects the standards a practitioner holds themselves accountable to across strategy, ethics, and leadership. Every cohort that comes through our assessment days demonstrates the growing appetite the profession has for recognised and rigorous professional standards. For anyone considering it, the investment in yourself and your career is well worth making.
