Hello All, does anyone know of any professional organizations that are applicable for consultants, business or strategy directors. Ideally, these organizations require some selection process or criteria beyond a fee.

Hmmm. Maybe the TMA, the Turnaround Management Association? It’s an association of turnaround consultants. Not saying their certificates are respected in-industry or not, but to become a member, I recall you have to pass 3 proctored tests (warning: not cheap, like $1k+). Maybe that counts for your purposes?

Hi Everyone,

Need some inputs before making an important decision.
I have offer from Cognizant and they are promising that next quarter they will initiate my Canada visa. They are giving assurance when I spoke to them over call. Also, my current employer Accenture is also saying the same to retain me. Can I believe Cognizant? Also, Canada onsite is best in which company - Accenture or Cognizant. Please suggest based on your experience.

Thanks in advance!

If remote becomes the default in consulting, as seems likely, how long until a 4-day work week?

I think it’s pretty likely within the next 5 years. It doesn’t mean work wouldn’t happen on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, but it would help set a cultural norm.

Pre-COVID there was always a different feel between M-Th at the client site and F-Su elsewhere; this would help replicate that.
