We are pleased to invite you to attend the first seminar being run by the newly-formed Management Consultancy Network on ‘What management consultants want from academics’ taking place on Monday 21st February from 16.00 – 17.00 GMT.
One of the objectives of the Network is to promote the application of research through the medium of management consultancy. As management consultants and academics studying management share a common topic the insights of each should be helpful to the other, and in particular there may be areas where consultants would profit from the application of recent academic research or working in partnership on projects in specific circumstances. The preferences of consultants and consultancy firms in identifying and realising these opportunities will be of value to academics who would like to increase the scope of cooperation.
The Centre for Management Consulting Excellence (CMCE) has carried out research among consultants and consultancy organisations to establish what these preferences are. The findings were initially outlined at the 2021 Conference since when there has been further research. This seminar will provide an update and the opportunity to discuss the findings and their implications for the academic community.
This seminar will also mark the formal launch of the Management Consultancy Network and provide the opportunity to get involved and shape its future.
