Russ Dickinson, Associate Director in the Insurance and Investment practice at Gobeyond Partners is amongst an early group of pioneers to receive the Chartered Management Consultant (ChMC) Award.

This brand-new accreditation is the result of a collaboration between the Management Consultancies Association and Chartered Management Institute, with the aim of both standardising and recognising the quality and expertise offered by the UK consulting sector. 

Following a robust independent assessment process, a pilot group of management consultants representing 10 firms have been granted Chartered status and presented with their certificates at a ceremony in London. They will be followed by a second wave of the pilot, before the award is fully launched in late 2020. At this stage it will be open to all firms and individuals interested in obtaining Chartered status.

The Chartered Management Consultant Award is underpinned by the Management Consulting Competency Framework, giving individual consultants the opportunity to benchmark their development and capabilities against an independent professional standard.

Commenting on the award, Russ said “Chartered status is additional assurance for clients that a consultant has the level of expertise & experience to deliver tangible value, which has been benchmarked & assessed over time, giving them confidence in their investment & engagement outcomes”
