Why modernise?
Unfit for the future!
• Board of Management has had to take big decisions to maintain finances and
move at the pace required
• The time needed to refer every decision to Council was damaging our brand
values of professional, essential and dynamic
• Council attendance was poor and its value had been questioned by members
- legally liable but not meeting fiduciary responsibilities
• Council was very UK centric, not reflecting the international growth and
footprint of CIPS
• Council confused representation and trusteeship = frustrations
• Acevo governance healthcheck 2008 – operational problems identified
• 10 out of 30 recommendations implemented to improve effectiveness
• Major change recommendations put on hold until 2011
Leading global excellence in procurement and supply
CIPS Modernisation - Principles:
•
CIPS is a global professional body which values the diversity of its membership and its status as a Chartered
Institute & UK charity
–
inside the charity, CIPS runs a global network of commercial activities in pursuit of its Charter objectives and to fund
member benefits and initiatives for the public good
•
CIPS must be able to make timely and effective decisions;
•
There will be a global advisory body, or Congress, that will represent all the membership and be the
conscience of CIPS;
–
–
–
–
–
decision rights to be defined at all levels with clear accountability and communications
there will be effective control of subsidiaries and JV’s through the CEO and staff
will be constituted such that it is not dominated by a single interest group
will engage the membership to guide and influence the trustees
will be chaired by the President of the Institute and elect a proportion of the trustees
•
There will be a smaller executive body of trustees;
•
There will be an independent Nominations Committee responsible for the election and appointment of
trustees, against published criteria
–
–
–
–
–
–
–
–
trustees will be MCIPS or FCIPS, or non-members selected for their particular expertise
the trustee board will be chaired by the Chairman of the Institute
the performance of each trustee will be evaluated and managed by the trustees as a group
the CEO will be an ex officio trustee, responsible for the management of CIPS and all subsidiary entities and will be linemanaged by the Chairman of the trustee board
led by two recent past presidents, with senior MCIPS/FCIPS members and an independent advisor
will champion the democratic election of trustees from the global Congress
will consider nominations from individuals to be appointed as trustees
will appoint the Chairman and President as two independent and non-sequential roles
