The model expresses three dimensions of the competent consultant.  The point reached in each category hinges very much on the experience gained over time.  This recognises that consultancies recruit at varying levels: from recently graduated students, to managers with years of experience moving into consultancy. 

What the model is not saying is that the list of competencies is exhaustive, or for that matter, that a given consultant should be competent in all the areas outlined.  What it does, is it delineates the competency territory within which consultants can develop in a myriad of ways.

In the same way, the CMC designation is only a stage in the professional development for the accredited consultant.  A move to FCMC would thus require further evidence of competencies asked for at the time of CMC evaluation.  The body of knowledge outlined here encompasses all these levels at a basic degree and it is up to the individual’s curiosity and experience to take any aspect further through professional development.

ICMHK agree and follow the Boy of Knowledge, Competence Framework and Code of Conduct from ICMCI.  As an overview, consultants should have knowledge, competence and conduct to an appropriate degree in the following fields (details of each follow on subsequent pages):
