The global Certified Management Consultant accreditation and membership of IMCA as the professional body in Ireland for management consultants are both very important aspects of Voltedge’s recognition in the marketplace as a professional consultancy practice.
Joint Managing Director - Voltedge
In operating as an individual management consultant it's essential to have some professional standing which membership of IMCA provides as well as opportunities for Continuing Professional Development.
Director - Planware
When self-employed being involved in IMCA is important in allowing you to collaborate with like-minded people who work in your industry and to use members as a sounding board on projects.
As a larger practice, we deem it valuable that our junior consultants are accredited as full Members of IMCA once they progress to consultant grade – this is important both for them and for us.
Director - PwC
We avail of IMCA’s professional indemnity insurance scheme which all practices today are challenged with and the scheme provides particularly good value.
Joint Managing Director - Voltedge
Profiling of practices is particularly important as well as the opportunity to collaborate on projects and find specialist skills. IMCA’s development events address issues of relevance to the consultancy profession and people can attend the events, and network and share war stories with other consultants.
Development Director - IMCA
Being a member of your professional institute is extremely important in providing an endorsement of your professional standards as well as opportunities for fellowship and exchange of ideas with members who encounter the same problems and may have similar ideas.
Since IMCA represents the management consultancy profession in Ireland it’s important that the larger practices are involved and the Board thus has a blend of larger and smaller practices.
