Requirements & benefits of becoming a Member

Membership Benefits

CMC Designation – membership affords you the unique opportunity to apply for the Certified Management Consultant designation.  The CMC is the sole international certification benchmark in the field of Management Consulting and this designation is recognized in almost fifty countries across the globe.

Networking –CIMC members benefit from networking in a variety of ways.  Listings on our site and directory expose members to potential clients. Our annual Management Consulting Business Symposium give members the opportunity to interact with colleagues from other islands and regions, as well as potential business partners from around the world.

Savings – while many of our training sessions and seminars are open to the public, members benefit from significant discounts to attend these events. Members also save on online courses.

Professional development – this is one of the cornerstones on which the CIMC was founded. Professional development of the members  remains a priority and members benefit from ongoing, regular training opportunities designed to make them more competitive and successful.

Professional Development

Professional development and learning is at the heart of CIMC.

If you want this to be your most lucrative year ever, as you switch gears to the new consulting paradigm, we have some exciting news. We have negotiated and are also in the process of negotiating additional programs that can be offered to our members and regional consultants, to supplement our staple offerings.  One such negotiated program has consistently been rated over 9 stars (out of 10) by global consultants who have been through it.

David Fields, the award-winning host, who is a friend of our Institute, has designed a special version of his ‘Client Acquisition Formula’ program just for CIMC’s members. This means that you will have yet another option to assist you with building your firm with David and other consultants in the region, who understand the new paradigm in addition to our particular consulting challenges.

Those of us who attended the CMC-Global Annual conference in Nassau, The Bahamas (2019) got to experience David firsthand, as he wowed the international gathering. He challenged the way we think about consulting—and if we’re going to achieve different results, we know we have to change the way we think. David also revealed practical guidelines and steps he’s used to build his own multi-million dollar consulting practice.

Equally or more important, CMC-Global has expanded its suite of developmental workshops and are conducting fact finding assessments of all its institutes, and will be delivering through CIMC and its collegial institutes, programs that speak directly to membership professional training and development!

Stay tuned for more details.
