标准2025从改进流程到提高利润，管理咨询公司能有效为客户带来实质性的影响。刚刚发布的新标准旨在帮助管理咨询公司及其客户提高其咨询项目的透明度和可理解度，以实现双赢。
管理咨询提供专业知识、经验以及广泛的服务和支持，包括产品推广、员工培训和组织结构设计及优化等，所以越来越多企业倾向于与他们合作。近年来，企业和政府希望改善业绩改进流程，在管理咨询方面的支出显著增长。
《ISO 20700管理咨询服务指南》借鉴了全球范围内广泛的管理咨询行业相关的研究和经验，旨在提高该行业与其客户的透明度和有效性。
该标准由国际标准化组织管理咨询委员会（ISO/PC280）制定，其秘书处由ISO成员国意大利的标准化协会（UNI）负责。委员会主席Robert Bodenstein，表示，该项标准是基于大量咨询公司的实践经验以及其客户的建议所制定的，汇集了行业最佳实践，能帮助管理咨询更有效地开展。
他说：“凭借着对行业的深入了解和丰富经验，管理咨询公司能为企业提供宝贵的专业知识，有助于企业取得更好的业绩，为经济做出了显著的贡献。制定新标准不仅可以帮助咨询公司更有效并高效地工作，还能够推动行业的发展。”
ISO 20700是根据成果来制定实用指南的，强调了解客户需求的重要性。管理咨询公司规模有大有小，对创新、差异化和道德行为的关注度都不同，但该标准对所有管理咨询公司都有着重要的意义。该标准对客户也同样重要，它能帮助客户更好地了解咨询项目中管理咨询公司所提供服务的价值。
Guidelines for optimizing use of management consultancies just published
From improving processes to boosting profits, management consultancies can make a huge difference to the organizations they work with. Clarity and transparency are the keys to success -for both parties. A new standard just published aims to help.
Offering specialist sector knowledge and experience, it is no wonder more and more organizations are turning to management consultancies. Whether it be bringing a product to market, training staff or advising on an organizational overhaul, management consultancies offer a wide range of services and support. Their use has grown dramatically in recent years as businesses and governments look to improve their performance and processes.
ISO 20700, Guidelines for management consultancy services, draws on research and experience from a wide range of management consultancies worldwide and aims to increase transparency and effectiveness for both client and consultancy.
Robert Bodenstein, Chair of ISO/PC 280, Management Consultancy, the ISO project committee that developed the standard, whose secretariat is held by UNI, ISO’s member for Italy, said that it brings together industry best practice to help make management consultancies more effective.
“Management consultancies can bring valuable expertise to an organization, with their in-depth knowledge and broad experience of an industry, to help clients bring about growth or change more effectively. In this way, they make a strong contribution to the economy,” he said.
“This new standard is aimed at not only helping consultancies work even more effectively and efficiently, but helping with the development of the profession.”
ISO 20700 gives practical guidelines based on outcomes and emphasizes the importance of understanding clients’ needs. It is useful to all management consultancies, regardless of size, and maintains a focus on innovation, differentiation and ethical behaviour. It is also useful for clients in that it helps them better understand what they can expect from a management consultant in a consultancy project.
