PDQ!sm
Code of Ethics There
is nothing so fundamental to PDQ!sm
International, Inc.
as commitment to provide professional and competent Management
Consulting, Training and Business Services
from a framework of trust. To that end, PDQ!sm
International, Inc. wholeheartedly
embraces and supports adherence to the Institute of Management Consultants USA,
Inc (IMC USA) Code of Ethics. Key
provisions of that Code specify:
Clients
-
Members will serve their clients with
integrity, competence, and objectivity, using a professional approach at all
times, and placing the best interests of the client above all others.
-
Members will establish realistic expectations
of the benefits and results of their services.
-
Members will treat all client information
that is not public knowledge as confidential, will prevent it from access by
unauthorized people, and will not take advantage of proprietary or
privileged information, either for use by them, their firm or another
client, without the client’s permission.
-
Members will avoid conflicts of interest, or
the appearance of such, and will disclose to a client any circumstances or
interests that might influence their judgment and objectivity.
-
Members will refrain from inviting an
employee of an active or inactive client to consider alternative employment
without prior discussion with the client.
Engagements
- Members
will only accept assignments which they possess the expertise to perform,
and will only assign staff with the requisite expertise.
- Members
will ensure that before accepting any engagement, a mutual understanding of
the objectives, scope, work plan, and fee arrangements has been established.
- Members
will offer to withdraw from a consulting engagement when their objectivity
or integrity may be impaired.
Fees
- Members
will agree in advance with a client on the basis for fees and expenses, and
will charge fees and expenses that are reasonable, legitimate and
commensurate with the services delivered and the responsibility accepted.
- Members
will disclose to their clients in advance any fees or commissions that they
receive for equipment, supplies or services they could recommend to their
clients.
Professional
- Members
will respect the individual and corporate rights of clients and consulting
colleagues, and will not use proprietary information or methodologies
without permission.
- Members
will represent the profession with integrity and professionalism in their
relations with their clients, colleagues and the general public.
- Members
will report violations of this Code to the Institute, and will ensure that
other consultants working on behalf of the member abide by this Code.
The Institute of Management
Consultants USA, Inc. (IMC USA)
adopted its first Code of Ethics in 1968. Since that time IMC USA has modified
the wording of the Code for additional clarity and relevance to clients. The
current Code was approved February 22, 2002. It is consistent with the
International Code of Professional Conduct published by the International
Council of Management Consulting Institute (ICMCI)
of which IMC USA is a founding member.
Members
who apply for the CMC (Certified
Management Consultant) designation must pass a written examination on the
application of the IMC USA Code of Ethics to client service. The CMC designation
is awarded to consultants who have met high standards of education, experience,
competence and professionalism.
