“I recently completed the ISO 20700 Checklist training and found it to be a terrific new tool to add to my consultant toolkit.

Although I have been a management consultant for over 30 years, I am always looking for ways to enhance my skills.

The insights and approaches I learned through the ISO 20700 training will definitely help mitigate potential issues or conflicts with clients and thus further strengthen client relationships.

Strong client relationships often lead to repeat business. The self-paced training also made it easy to work around my current client work, allowing me to focus on my current projects, but also to keep “sharpening the saw.”

I would definitely recommend this training course to other consultants.”

“Completing the ISO 20700 Checklist training has been a game-changer for me, offering a refreshing perspective on consultancy that places collaboration at its heart.

Since my initial training in France over a decade ago, this course and internationally relevant framework have refreshed my understanding of today’s consultancy demands, especially now that I’m practising in the UK.

It enhanced my approach, ensuring clients feel heard and fully understand our process, fostering trust and clear expectations from the outset.

The signature logo associated with this training isn’t just a mark of quality; it’s a promise of a structured, ethical, and collaborative approach. This framework has become a cornerstone of my practice, underpinning every client engagement with transparency and integrity.”

“As a Certified Management Consultant, hands down, I deliver the best results for clients when we are clear about expectations, honest about the current state and driven to hit goals that matter.

The upfront investment in understanding each other builds confidence, intention, trust, and results.

Consulting projects that adhere to the ISO 20700 standard incorporate baseline practices and processes yet are, by design, customizable to every client’s situation. The discipline and effort required to achieve the ISO standard serve my clients and my consulting practice well.

A win: win. If mediocre consulting services are good enough, don’t demand the ISO 20700 standard.”

“Trust is crucial in management consulting, and a consultant’s credibility is determined by their compliance with ISO 20700 standards.

This ensures the consultant focuses on the client’s needs and enhances transparency throughout the project.

The ISO 20700 certification signals a consultant’s commitment to the client’s needs and organization.“

The online course provides clear and understandable information on the standard and how it should be applied. The case studies are very helpful, and it was useful to listen to the discussion of others in the recording to understand how others might interpret the classification of different types of assignments.

I’ve read through the ISO 20700 documentation, but the course really helped me understand how to apply the guidelines and checklist.”

It was all useful and I plan to now use these materials in my work for myself and in working with my consulting colleagues.”

“The most valuable thing was the Case study demonstration by consultants, this is helpful to improve critical thinking to see things from different perspectives”
