December 6, 2023, Toronto, ON – The Canadian Association of Management Consultants (CMC-Canada) is pleased to announce an exciting partnership with MNP, one of Canada’s leading professional services firms, as part of the CMC-Canada’s Large Firm Partner Program. The program allows MNP to preapprove their consultants for CMC certification readiness, which is a significant step toward raising the standards of management consulting in Canada.
The CMC designation is the only internationally recognized credential for management consultants. It sets the standard for professionalism, ethical conduct, and expertise, making it highly sought after in the consulting industry.
The CMC-Canada firm equivalency process is designed to seamlessly integrate into management consulting firms' existing consultant development and assessment programs, providing a tailored approach to achieving the prestigious Certified Management Consultant (CMC) designation.

It is also a testament to the rigorous standards of the CMC designation."
“MNP is excited to partner with CMC-Canada on this initiative,” said Chris Lavin, National Consulting Leader, MNP. “MNP places a large focus on providing a full suite of consulting services to help our clients manage risk, accelerate growth, and achieve success. That mission starts with our MNP team members; and ensuring they have the skills and credentials that will act as a platform to support our clients and position MNP as a leading employer of professionals with the CMC designation.”
By becoming a CMC, consultants at MNP benefit from:
- Elevated Skills and Knowledge:
- Meeting the rigorous requirements to obtain the CMC designation ensures that their team stays on the cutting edge of industry trends, knowledge, and best practices.
- Enhanced Credibility:
- The CMC designation instantly grants their consultants credibility in the eyes of clients, peers, and stakeholders, reinforcing MNP's reputation as a leader in the consulting field.
