CPSM

Domain 6: Management

      Management is what enables everything else to work. This domain focuses on leading people, processes, and systems that support marketing and business development across the firm.

      It is about creating structure and alignment, from CRM and external partners to internal teams and firmwide business development culture. When managed well, marketing becomes a connector across strategy, pursuits, and project delivery.  Strong management ensures consistency, accountability, and scalability, allowing teams to operate as one and deliver a better experience for clients and partners.
