To enhance the effectiveness and influence of chiefs of staff and build recognition for the profession.
The Chief of Staff Association was conceived by a small group of influential business leaders and diplomats who came together with a shared goal of finding better ways of overcoming traditional impediments to solving complex coordination problems and accelerating economic diplomacy. This private diplomatic network forms the backbone of The Chief of Staff Association.
Although some organisations possess extensive local business contacts and others have far-reaching international connections, few have both. This occurs because maintaining relationships across multiple regions and sectors simultaneously requires commitment and assets that even the most well-resourced organisations could only hope to achieve. The CSA solves this problem by helping you accelerate your network development.
Despite the critical nature of the role of chief of staff, there was a significant gap in certified education. Our training platform begins with developing foundation skills and expertise for senior COS’ and culminates in the Chief of Staff Certification programme at Oxford.
As both the prominence and incidence of the chief of staff role rapidly increase, the CSA is dedicated to the profession’s integrity, resilience, and performance.
