Why Hire a CMC?
Loraine Kasprzak, Managing Director of Advantage Marketing, has long been a Certified Management Consultant. She believes the Certification mark demonstrates to clients her firm’s high level of commitment to providing ethical, professional management consulting.
The Certified Management Consultant (CMC) designation is awarded to consultants who have demonstrated that they produce substantive results, adhere to the IMC USA canon of ethics, manage our practices professionally, and invest in continuing education.
When you hire a Certified Management Consultant, your project will benefit from a consultant who demonstrates the highest level of competence, as well as:
- A history of results and excellent performance. Evidence of that successful track record is found in our client testimonials, references, and the repeat business we have earned, all of which are required to maintain Certification.
- Adherence to the highest ethical standards of the profession. Our Managing Director has successfully completed both written and oral ethics examinations covering commitments to the client, fiscal responsibility, the public, and the profession.
- Experience in the field. A minimum of three years of continuous consulting and successful results were required to even be considered ready for certification. Loraine has over 15 years management consulting experience.
- Life-long professional education. As a CMC®, Loraine takes advantage of IMC USA's national conferences, local workshops, topical research, the Academy for Professional Development, newsletters, and other chapter-level offerings.
- A reference network for challenging client problems. Loraine also can utilize IMC USA's national database, local chapter reference sources, and the combined wisdom of the knowledge management created and maintained within IMC USA membership.
The CMC And ISO Accreditation
IMC USA has earned the prestigious International Organization for Standardization (ISO) ISO/IEC 17024:2003 accreditation for its Certified Management Consultant™ (CMC®) process.
IMC USA is only the third institute to gain ISO recognition, which further substantiates the high professional standards and ethics our Institute has set as a benchmark for the certification process and the CMC. The worldwide benchmark for process certification, the ISO is a non-governmental, worldwide federation of national standards bodies. Read more about ISO accreditation.
