In Ireland the prestige Annual Medal Award of the Institute of Management Consultants and Advisers (IMCA) held on June 17th was this year dedicated to International Consultants Day. The medal is awarded each year to recognise outstanding achievement that has led to demonstrable innovation with lasting impact. It has latterly been presented on an all island basis with IBC Northern Ireland; recent recipients include the President of Ireland Mary McAleese and Senator George Mitchell in recognition of his contribution to the peace process.

This year, the medal was jointly awarded to Tom Arnold, Concern Worldwide and Dr Steve Collins, Valid International in recognition of Concern’s work in international humanitarian aid over 40 years and in particular for its partnership with Valid International in the development and validation of Community Therapeutic Care (CTC), an innovative and highly effective approach to managing acute malnutrition in the developing world, now adopted as best practice by the WHO in those countries where acute malnutrition causes thousands of deaths every year. The presentation was made by Des McDermott of Hay Group (Ireland), Vice President of IMCA at a breakfast function in the Royal College of Physicians of Ireland in Dublin (the venue for the ICMCI 2007 Congress gala dinner). In making the award Des said: IMCA is proud to honour Concern Worldwide and Valid International. Their work has impacted the lives of literally millions of children around the globe and their radical approach to tackling acute malnutrition is a showcase for how true innovation can be achieved through the establishment of innovative networks and management practices even when resources are limited.

IMCA’s principal objective is the advancement of the highest standards of management and performance. This partnership is an outstanding example of collaborative management practice, yielding significant benefits for individuals, communities and governments.” Otherwise IMCA has been running a series of events over the year within the theme of Consulting in Challenging Times. These include workshops on Selling Professional Services, Corporate Governance and Social Media, and a networking event being held with the AGM on July 1st. A survey has been carried out of member feedback on the IMCA web site and an action plan is being implemented to address the points raised. This will included an online version of the seminar being run for CMC applicants to provide remote access to the content.
