ICMCA Mission, Vision, Strategic Plan

— Vision 2025 —

By 2025 CMC-AB will be an energetic community of ethical and competent consultants with specialties in such diverse fields as: Technology, Software, AI systems, Engineering, Environmental, Governance, Finance, Strategy, Human Resources, Customer Service & Hospitality, Data Measurement & Analytics, Quality/Six Sigma/Business Processes, Social Media, Marketing, Branding & Communications who have minimum competency across several areas and identify generally as Management Consultants.

Business, government and NFP executives will have come to appreciate the value and benefit CMC’s, FCMC’s & CMC-Firms can bring to their organizations, and regularly choose the services of CMC’s over those without certification credentials. The public will trust CMC’s as professionals and CMC-Alberta.

An expanded membership-registrant base inclusive of student, associate/candidate, and full-time CMC/FCMC members category dues, along with profitable Member events, has delivered an increased, sustainable income stream supportive of a CMC-Alberta staff & volunteer cadre proud to deliver tangible impact for both members and member clients.
