The International Council of Management Consulting Institutes has since 1987 been the professional body worldwide for management consultants.〔Kubr, M. (ed.) Management Consulting: A guide to the profession 4th ed, Geneva, International Labour Office, 2002〕 It exists to: * Elevate the standards of management consultants 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 management consultants * Prepare and promulgate Standards for management consulting to be adopted internationally 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. ICMCI has demonstrated that indigenous, competent, professional management consultants add capacity and capability to an economy. Others have shown that on average the achieved benefits of management consultancy assignments are at least three times the fees charged. Research has shown that: *Indigenous competent professional management consultants add capacity and capability to an economy (and in developing economies can increase the success of development projects) *Management consultants build a country's competitiveness by speeding and making more effective the implementation of new management techniques and organisational improvements *A successful cadre of professional management consultants aids the improvement of the management profession in a country Developed economies tend to have about one management consultant per one thousand total population whereas developing economies have one for every two thousand. On this basis there are between 2.5m and 3m people who refer to themselves as management consultants in the world. ICMCI Member Institutes represent countries in all continents that include between 85% and 90% of the world's management consultants. == ICMCI Organisation == ICMCI is a membership organisation with the only members being the leading professional body for management consultancy committed to the certification of management consultants in the country of their operation. ICMCI is registered as a Swiss Verein with its main Council consisting of trustees. Most of the trustees are appointed by the Institutes that are the Members as defined in the above paragraph. The number of trustees for each country varies from 1 to 4 depending on the individual membership by individual management consultants in the country. The remaining trustees are officer trustees voted for every two years by all the trustees, the Officers are Chair, Secretary, Treasurer, and five Vice Chairs. Together these officers form the Executive Committee (ExCom). Reporting to ExCom are various other committees, work groups and task bodies depending on need. Permanent committees include Membership Committee (responsible for overseeing the admittance of new Members and the continuing adherence to the membership requirements of the existing Members), the Professional Standards Committee (which covers all professional matters including Standards), and the Quality Assurance Committee (responsible for checking that all Full Members award the Certified Management Consultant to the agreed Standard using the preferred assessment methods). A Nominations and Succession planning Committee (responsible for the election of officers and identifying and nurturing potential future office-holders) reports to the trustees as a whole. Other committees always include some trustees but also may have individual management consultant members of the Institutes (and endorsed to be on the committee by that Institute) All the office holders must be CMC holders and at the time of the election a trustee for one of the Full Members. They are unpaid and contribute between (on average) three to one day a week of effort to the organisation. The Organisation has in 2013 appointed an Executive Director. In support, the organisation has a permanent secretariat which undertakes the committee and trustee support, including accounting, communications, and web site provision. The web site (www.icmci.org) should be consulted for the names and contact details of the Office holders, the Executive Directorate and the Secretariat. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「International Council of Management Consulting Institutes」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
