BUILD KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS & ABILITIES AND GET CERTIFIED! Enjoy this blog post written by Rich Cruz, IMC's Chair of the CMC Committee. While having a career that served dozens of internal and external clients across 30 industries, he still found his journey greatly enriched by joining the Institute of Management Consultants USA (IMC USA). He first discovered the IMC QuickStart Consultant Training, which became instrumental in his becoming a certified management consultant (CMC) in 2021. He shares that the path to becoming a CMC involves a unique blend of education, training, experience and while formal education via college, university, or graduate school establishes a strong foundation, ongoing training programs further refine the skills needed to excel in the field. Read the full blog in which Rich explores how various educational avenues can empower aspiring and seasoned consultants alike. Click here:  https://lnkd.in/dcj_mV9C #managementconsulting #consultants #cmc #ethics #business #success #education
