The historical
tradition of Livery Companies is that of supporting, developing
and protecting their trades and crafts, whilst acting in
charitable ways in the wider community and also being ‘clubs’ in
which members can enjoy fellowship. The Worshipful Company of
Management Consultants - the 105th Livery Company of the City of
London - upholds these traditions whilst
embracing modern techniques and technologies.
Our members are management consultants who have made their mark
on the City or the profession, or who intend to do so.

Restoring Trust in the
City: In 2010 the Company became the driving force behind a project to change behaviours and cultures in the City. Our aim was to create behaviours that value integrity and ensure that employees share and apply the same moral compass in their decision making. As a by-product, the Initiative has significantly increased the profile of the Company in the City and with the Corporation of London.Three members, Past Master Patrick McHugh, Professor Paul Palmer and Richard Finn, as good management consultants considered the tactics that were, and still are being used – regulation and codes of practice - to change behaviour. We concluded that the laser-like focus of financial institutions and individuals to maximise the short term would not be sustainably challenged by either of these. Rather, we thought, it was an organisation development initiative that might make the difference. We, and other members including PM Bob Garratt and Warden Edward Sankey pitched the idea to Michael Bear who was to be the next Lord Mayor, who saw that if we could pull it off the initiative would significantly contribute to his Mayoral theme of rebuilding the reputation of the City at home and abroad. At the same time, the Company agreed that the Initiative would become part of a “ three plank” Company strategy to extend our activities at its annual meeting. So we created a Steering Committee to prepare the ground for a launch at the start of 2011. Joining us were representatives from the International Bankers and the Marketors Livery Companies, Tomorrows Company, The CityUK, the Archbishop of Westminster and Cass Business School who also provided an administrator and some seed funding. ......Click to read on...
