The International Council of Management Consulting Institutes (ICMCI), known as CMC-Global, is an international professional body for management consultants.
It exists to:
- Elevate the standards of the certified management consultant (CMC) worldwide
- Increase the acceptance and respect of the management consulting profession
- Increase the international and regional profile of management consulting
- Improve the process of certification throughout the world
- Provide a forum for national certifying bodies of certified management consultants
- Prepare and promulgate standards for management consulting to be adopted internationally
- Promote the ethical and moral practices of Certified Management Consultants and the management consulting profession
- Promote the higher performance and purpose of CMC's versus non certified "management consultants."
The practice of management consulting is about "helping organizations to improve their performance, operating primarily through the analysis of existing organizational problems and the development of plans for improvement — with the purpose of gaining external (and presumably objective) advice and access to the consultants' specialized expertise." It follows therefore that there is scope for an international organization to promote and foster competence in the management consulting profession.
