IMC recently completed a survey of CMCs to determine whether the CMC is recognized as an authoritative brand and is effective in business development. Almost all (97%) respondents saw the CMC designation as valuable to their business and actively use it to differentiate themselves from their non-CMC competitors. Three task groups (survey team, CMC resources team, and internal branding team) provided support for this effort and produced a report of how to use build recognition, how to leverage the CMC in business development, and how to sustain the "point of differentiation" value of the CMC.

Consultants should take a strong cue from the life and contributions of Tim Russert, who passed away in June. Tim was known to many as a journalist who exhibited characteristics to which a consultant to management should aspire. These include a full commitment to preparation, fairness in his work and dealing with those he interviewed, a diligent search for the truth on the surface and beneath, and a respect from even those he made squirm in their seats. We learn well from descriptive examples and this piece by Bette Price is an excellent and evocative tribute to Tim and, by reference, to the kind of professional to which we should all aspire.
