Who We are

The Institute of Certified Management Consultants of Ontario, (ICMCO) is the official name of CMC-Ontario. The ICMCO is the provincial body responsible for accrediting and overseeing those who hold the CMC designation in Ontario.

CMC-Ontario works with other similar Institutes in various Provinces across Canada and with the Canadian Association of Management Consultants, (also known as, CMC-Canada), to promote and foster excellence and integrity in the management consulting profession. Together, we advocate for the Certified Management Consultant (CMC) designation and are dedicated to advancing the profession and delivering the benefits to the client community.

— our mission —

Our mission is to enhance community, collaboration, knowledge and networking for our Members in Ontario and to regulate the Certified Management Consulting designation.

— our vision —

Our Vision is a thriving and diverse profession that contributes to Ontario’s and Canada’s prosperity, with CMCs recognized as the pinnacle of management consulting practice.

Wait… was that the President? Or her AI clone?

At the 2025 CMC-Ontario AGM, we flipped the script on tradition. Instead of delivering her final report live, outgoing President Desislava Nikolova introduced something bold: her AI-generated self.

It’s smart. It’s unexpected. It’s the future.
And yes, it’s 100% approved by the real Desislava.

Created in collaboration with AI wizard Evgeny Koloda, this moment wasn’t just for show. It was a statement: leadership isn’t just about strategy, it’s about reimagining how we connect, inspire, and move forward.

Watch the full video and see how we’re bringing innovation to life, one clone at a time.
