We help to shape the career paths for the managers and leaders of tomorrow.  By combining with other professional bodies we are in an even stronger position to develop respected, influential and professional leaders and form a community of practitioners committed to improving corporate performance.

The Institute of Business Consulting is the professional body for all consultants and business advisers. Designed to raise standards of professional practice in support of better business performance, the Institute provides a development path for the profession, supported by high quality resources and a recognised qualification route.

Formed in April 2007 by the merger of the Institute of Business Advisers and the Institute of Management Consultancy, the Institute encompasses the entire profession of consultants and advisers with a membership touching on all areas of the UK economy.

Combined with the influence and resources of the Chartered Management Institute, the Institute is in the unique position of supporting individuals whose collective impact is to enhance performance in small and large organisations across the private, public and voluntary sectors.
