Program Overview

Nearly two decades down the line, the consulting industry has developed into one of the most mature sectors in the professional services industry. At the heart of the industry is the practice of management consulting, often referred to as business consulting. The practice is defined as “advisory and/or implementation services to the senior management team of organizations to improve the effectiveness of their business strategy, organizational performance, and operational processes”.

Management consultants are hired by organizations for advice on strategy and organizational matters; to develop a new strategic plan to realize business growth; advise on innovation or cost reduction strategies. The consultant is also expected to implement the proposed solutions such as improving the efficiency of business processes, implementing new IT systems, outsourcing non-core tasks, or optimizing the supply chain. As such, the consultants typically remain involved until change programs are complete and new ways of working have become part of ‘business as usual’ operations.

The program is poised to develop, enhance, and assist management consultants and those who are pursuing a career in consulting to gain the fundamentals and the framework for the practice of management consulting. Successful completion of the program will give the participant the privilege to apply for accreditation to AIM SEELL’s roster of Professional Management Consultants (PMC). The designation implies the recognition of the consultant’s necessary skills, knowledge, and experience to deliver consulting services in the best interests of their clients. The designation also signifies the consultant’s adherence to the industry’s high ethical standards.
