Capacity Building for Consultants in Curaçao – Empowering Excellence!

The Capacity Building for Consultants in Curaçao event, held from November 11-15, 2024, was an overwhelming success. It brought together management consultants dedicated to enhancing their expertise and elevating their practices to global standards. Driven by the leadership of CINEX, this initiative has proven to be an important moment for Curaçao’s consulting sector.

 

Highlights of the Training

ISO 20700: Standard and Guidelines for Management Consultancy Services

A 1.5-day intensive training course provided 28 participants with practical tools to structure their consultancy assignments using the ISO 20700 framework. Attendees engaged in case studies and interactive sessions, leaving with the credential “Trained in the ISO 20700:2017 Standard for Management Consultancy Services” by CMC Global.

 

Principles and Practices of Management Consulting (PPOMC)

Spanning three days, this competency-based training focused on the requirements set by the International Council of Management Consulting Institutes (ICMCI). Twenty-three participants explored strategies to improve competitiveness, professionalism, and project management practices while preparing for challenges in both regional and international markets.
