History
The Association of Management Consultants has a rich Canadian history spanning more than 50 years.

The origin of the field however, began prior to WWII and was developed from the industrial engineering profession.  Frederick W Taylor is viewed as the pioneer of management consulting, specifically for his approach and early contributions to the scientific approach of management consulting.  When he died in 1918 he had inspired many individuals to expand his work in the field.T

The Second World War brought many opportunities for growth for management consultants. Canadian opportunities arose with both the private and government sectors and encouraged the employment of new strategies and techniques in the field.  1939 marked a vital time for management consulting in Canada, during this time chartered accountants began to recognize the importance of management consulting and recognized that it would be a valued service to offer in their firms.  Chartered accountants became involved in management consulting as a way to been as a reputable adviser to their clients, as new management techniques such as cost controls and budget planning became more popular.

 In 1963, after many years of committee work by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Quebec, and meetings between senior representatives of the largest accounting firms and major consulting practices, it was agreed that there was much to gain by working together to build and standardize the emerging profession of management consulting.  

Today p
rofessional management consultants are contracted by organizations to provide objective and independent advice. Advisory services may include identification and analysis of management problems, developing solutions, and the implementation of proposed solutions.
The Certified Management Consultant (CMC) and Fellow CMC (FCMC) designations are protected international certification marks.  These designations are recognized in over 51 countries around the world, including the Certified Management Consultants – Global Institute.
