ISO 20700 – Guidelines for Management Consultancy Services

ISO 20700, Guidelines for Management Consultancy Services, helps management consultants and their clients improve transparency and understanding of consulting assignments in order to achieve better results.

First published in June 2017, the standard enables management consultants to reduce risk in management consulting assignments and provide better value to their clients.

The ISO 20700:2017 Guidelines for Management Consultancy Services standard aims to “improve transparency and understanding between clients and management consultancy service providers, in order to achieve better results from consultancy projects.”

ICMCI ISO 20700 Self-Declaration Checklist & Training

In order to help management consultants efficiently use the ISO 20700 standard, ICMCI has developed the self-declaration checklist. This is a useful tool for the consultant and client to use through the various steps of their projects. It promotes transparency and initiates discussions to ensure that all required points are covered in agreement with each other.

The checklist follows the same three major components of the standard: contracting, delivering and closing the project.

CMC-Canada has partnered with Effective Managers™ to now offer the checklist training on a learning management system (LMS) so you can learn at your own pace. The course has been developed and is delivered by Dwight Mihalicz, accredited by ICMCI as an ISO 20700 Checklist Trainer. 

The training will give you practical, hands-on experience in the use of the standard, and the tools you will need to use with your clients. All registrants will have access to a regular synchronous session with Dwight Mihalicz to ask questions and to explore the use of the Checklist with fellow trainees.
