About: alliances
The networks we build and belong to
Leveling the playing field takes more than one firm. We work with professional bodies, a community we helped found, and technology companies that share the same goal: stronger consultants in every market.
Founded and sponsored by e-CGS
Red Iberoamericana de Consultores
An independent educational foundation and a neutral meeting point for the consulting profession in Spanish. It is open to associations, chambers, consultancies, universities and the public sector, and aligned with international standards for the profession.
We financed its creation; the foundation has its own board. It launched in June 2026, and its legal formalization is in progress.
Why a foundation
Country associations already serve consultants well. A not-for-profit foundation can connect with all of them, without competing with any of them.
Professional bodies
Working with the institutions of the profession
World federation
ICMCI
The International Council of Management Consulting Institutes, recognized as the voice of the consulting profession. It created ISO 20700 together with ISO, and runs the standard's official site, iso20700.org, and a course on self-assessing compliance. Our people are certified under its standards.
International chapter of ICMCI
CMC-Global Institute
Serves consultants wherever there is no local institute, and is a client of ours. Its official ethics course for consultants, CDA-001, comes from our Academy, and the first version of ICMCI's ISO 20700 course was developed by Effective Managers with CMC-GI and e-CGS.
Sister company
EXYGE
A consultancy in Costa Rica with the same founder. Our first partner consultancy, where new methods and technologies are tested before we offer them to others, and a sponsor of the Red Ibero.
