Advocacy/Government Relations

Strategic Direction

Part of CMC-Canada's national strategy is to assertively lobby the federal government to recognize the Certified Management Consultant (CMC) designation as a desired qualification in bidding on consulting opportunities. This section outlines the initiatives currently underway - related to our Areas of Interest - to help us meet this strategic objective. It also provides government-related information resources.

Areas of Interest

Accountability

Governments rely on professional services and must procure them in ways that respect administrative transparency, oversight and accountability. The CMC designation is the profession's only international certification mark, recognized in more than 40 countries. It indicates a management consultant's commitment to the highest standards of consulting and adherence to the ethical canons of the profession. Government procurement professionals can reduce risks by including the CMC designation as a mandatory credential in any relevant Request for Proposal, thus delivering added value for taxpayer dollars.
