This professional designation
was created in 1989 by the National Bureau
of Professional Management Consultants (NBPMC)
to certify qualified management consultants.
The designation recognizes individuals in
the consulting profession who have the
highest character, education, experience,
competence and ethics.
What Are the Criteria?
Every CPCM must:
-
Have a degree from a
recognized college or university
-
Have at least 5 years of
full-time consulting experience
-
Be interviewed by the
NBPMC Selection Committee to verify
their character, experience and
education
-
Submit 5 client
references who are then contacted to verify
the consultant’s competence and ethics
-
Subscribe to the NBPMC
standards of ethics
Why Should You Hire a CPCM?
When choosing a consultant, you want
someone you can trust. Someone who has the
knowledge, skills and experience to
accomplish what you need.
The problem is that anyone
can call themselves a consultant. You could
get a part-timer, a recently downsized
corporate type, a moonlighting professor
with no real-world experience, or someone
else not qualified.
With a CPCM, you know you are
getting an experienced professional
who has demonstrated their knowledge and
skills over an extended period. You will get
a consultant with the experience,
competence and trustworthiness you need.
You Can Count on a CPDT
to:
-
Only accept assignments
for which they are qualified
-
Turn down assignments if
there is a conflict of interest
-
Only accept assignments
if they can potentially benefit the
client
-
Be truthful and
forthright with clients while
maintaining objectivity
-
Maintain client
confidentiality
