What does it mean to be an SCP Company?

The Strategic Collaboration Partners (SCP) program is an elite initiative designed for full members of the CMC-Global Institute who are committed to exemplifying and promoting the highest standards in the consulting industry. Participating companies enter into a tri-annual agreement with the Institute, signifying a shared dedication to uphold the utmost ethical and professional values.

As part of this prestigious program, companies agree to ensure that their senior consulting officials – including partners, directors, and key consulting personnel – are certified as Certified Management Consultants (CMC). Additionally, client-facing consulting staff are required to be trained in ISO 20700 as a minimum standard. This commitment underscores the company’s dedication to excellence and aligns with the Institute’s mission to elevate the consulting profession.

Moreover, SCP members collaborate closely with the CMC-Global Institute to contribute actively to the consulting community. This includes developing an annual plan, facilitated and monitored by a dedicated project manager from our volunteer base, to engage in various collaborative endeavors. These activities range from contributing technical articles to The Review, the Institute’s newsletter, to co-developing training modules for consultants, and delivering webinars on topics of relevance to their area of expertise.

The SCP program represents a significant commitment from participating companies, reflecting a deep alignment with the CMC-Global Institute’s values and a strong dedication to advancing the field of management consulting. This partnership is not only a mark of prestige but also a testament to the company’s leadership and influence in shaping the future of the consulting industry.
