Academy: enablement
Capability that stays with the people, not just the project
A project teaches on the fly, but that is not how professionals are built. The Academy gives consultants in small firms, solo practitioners and internal teams structured development in our methods, our technologies and the standards of the profession, so they can deliver at the level of the big firms. It is not a course business: it is how e-CGS enables people, and how they join our community of trusted enablers.
Learner → Enabler → Partner
Structured courses → Practical case → Community → Real projects
Competencies that stay in the local market, not only in one project.
Who it's for
For professionals who want to compete with the big firms
Independent consultants
Consultants who want to add our methods and tools to their practice and join projects with our partners.
Consultants in small firms
Teams that must produce revenue from day one, with little time or budget for research and training.
Internal consultants
Members of internal consulting units who want to grow their skills under international standards.
How it works
Three steps from learning to delivering
1
Learn
Structured, self-paced courses designed for consultants: our methods, the technologies of our ecosystem, and standards such as ISO 20700.
2
Show you can apply it
Work through a practical case on the method or tool, under ISO 20700 and a professional code of ethics (our course CDA-001 is the recommended start). When you pass, you join our community of trusted enablers.
3
Join projects
When a partner's project needs your skills, we invite you to work on it:
- As an e-CGS resource, alongside the partner's team
- On the methods and tools you are trained on
- With our experts behind you
Why the Academy exists
Small firms can't afford the development big firms give their juniors
On the fly is not enough
Working with us on a project teaches a lot, but under deadline pressure. Structured content builds the competency properly.
Methods, technology, standards
Development in all three: our methodologies, the tools of our ecosystem, and the standards of the profession.
No learning curve on the client's bill
While your team learns, our resources can support the project, so the client never pays for the learning curve.
Capability that stays local
The goal is a local offer as capable as the big firms', which is how consulting markets, and the companies they serve, get stronger.
For you
What you get
- Structured development in methods, technology and standards
- Real engagements with consultancies in several countries
- A community of consultants who work under the same standards

For consulting partners
Extra hands you can trust
Your team can learn our methods and tools properly, at its own pace, while our trusted enablers add capacity or a specialist to your projects when you need them.
