Context
Now is a time of tremendous interest in the future and the value of the professions. This interest arises partly due to a growing recognition of the contribution that professional services make to the British economy and society at large and partly as a result of increasingly well-publicised challenges. However, underneath this recognition is a growing concern about the contribution that the professions ought to make in terms of building trust and standards.
The Future of the Professions will explore these issues through a series of substantial research reports on the subject: “Twenty-First Century Professionalism: Raising Standards and Building Trust” produced by CII; “Professional Services Global Competitiveness Group report” commissioned by the UK government; “British Professions Today: The State of the Sector” produced by Spada on behalf of The Law Society, RICS and CIMA; “An Economic Impact Assessment of the CCPMO” produced for the Consultative Committee for Professional Management Organisations (CCPMO).
At the conference, high profile professionals and professional bodies will address these pressing issues and delegates will have the opportunity to discuss and debate ways to move the professions forward. Confirmed speakers include Sir Paul Judge, former Director General of the Conservative Party, Louis Armstrong, CEO of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, Ruth Spellman CEO of the Chartered Management Institute and David Thompson, Director of Policy and Public Affairs at the Chartered Insurance Institute.
The Future of the Professions is an opportunity for professional bodies to gather ways of publicising the importance of the professions and generate ideas on how these issues should be communicated to members and potential recruits.
