Hi,I have recently started setting up the management consulting competence of an IT Consulting company and are determined to lead the MC competence.Would you have any suggestions where to look for adequate professional development combining consulting and leadership competence in this field?Zoltan

You could look at the IMC's CMC (Certified Management Consultant) designation for ideas (www.imc.co.uk/cmc/index.php), although the prevailing logic in consulting firms is that "competence" is built through experience and on-the-job.
