The Colin Barkey Academy
The Colin Barkey Academy is The Consultancy Company's professional development arm. It was Colin's vision to create an MBA-level continuous learning facility that actively supports the on-going development of our consultants. The academy was named in his memory.
The purpose is to encourage, facilitate and support the continuous professional development (CPD) of our consultants so that they continue to deliver the most appropriate consultancy support to our clients. We aim to create the "Reflective Practitioner" and "Thinking Performer" and to make CPD enjoyable in an informal and stimulating environment.
The Colin Barkey Academy offers a stimulating programme of events for all members of The Consultancy Company, focusing on:
- Topical management issues.
- Best practice thinking and trends.
- New ideas, models, consultancy tools and ways of working.
- The development of consultancy skills.
- Sharing and learning from our in-house expertise and experience.
As a Premier Practice of the Institute of Management Consultancy, The Consultancy Company is committed to nurturing and supporting the professional and personal development of all our staff. We recognise differing individual needs and learning styles and our Academy offers specific support to consultants in:
- Developing their consultancy skills.
- Working towards Certified Management Consultant status.
- Meeting their continuous professional development obligations as Certified Management Consultants.
