IMC Fellowship And CMC Certification Workshop By Online Distance Learning – May 2020

The Institute of Management Consultants Nigeria is pleased to inform participants of Membership/ Fellowship Induction and the CMC Certification Seminar by Online Distance Learning for the month of May 2020.

This is the highest grade of the Institute’s Membership and is reserved for accomplished professionals of your level and status in the profession. This is not an invitation to receive an Honorary Fellowship. You are well and appropriately educated in your field of professional calling. You have ample knowledge and experience that makes you suitable to add Management Consultancy as a platform to offer your knowledge and expertise as a commodity in the knowledge economy. So, the Institute of Management Consultants is extending this humble invitation to you to consider the possibility of becoming a full professional member of the Institute. We believe your knowledge and experience can add value to what we have been doing over the years. We also believe that we can contribute to making your professional knowledge available to society through the platform of Management Consultancy

NEGATIVE IMPACT OF COVID-19 AND THE WAY FORWARD

The impact of COVID-19 on managers, leaders and consultants has been devastating, to say the least. 2020 plans and budgets have been disrupted. A time like this demands of leaders, Consultants and managers to engage in reflection and thinking about the way forward. The Institute of Management Consultants is stepping forward to facilitate a seminar that will bring leaders, consultants and managers together to share perspectives and experiences to chat the way forward in view of the devastating effect of COVID-19.

Under normal circumstances, we usually convene our seminars, workshops and conferences by bringing people together who come from different States and who had to travel to our conference destinations such as Lagos, Abuja, Port-Harcourt, Ibadan and Enugu. However, COVID-19 has succeeded in locking us down in our individual towns and homes. That notwithstanding, we need to go forward as leaders, consultants and managers. The way forward in these circumstances is to hold a highly interactive and impactful seminar by Online Distance Learning with the same end result leading to the award of fellowship of the Institute and assessment for the award of the Certified Management Consultant (CMC) designation.

HOW DOES THE IMC FELLOWSHIP AND CMC CERTIFICATION WORKSHOP BY ONLINE DISTANCE LEARNING WORK?

From past experience, some delegates invited for the IMC Fellowship and CMC Certification Workshop do request to participate in the training programme through Online Distance Learning. Some of these delegates are engaged in other equally important assignments which clash with the dates designated for the Certification Workshop, such delegates undertake the workshop by receiving the seminar manuals which they study and respond accordingly to the questions that are sent along with the learning material. This practice has worked very satisfactorily. Now that COVID-19 has brought about lockdown and travel bans in many parts of the country, we can resort to this Online Distance Learning Option which has proved effective in the past.
