About Us

The Global Management Consulting Institute (GMCI)

A pioneering organization headquartered in New York City, established in 1977 with a mission to professionalize and elevate the field of management consulting across the globe. For over four decades, we have remained committed to developing a world-class community of consultants who lead with integrity, strategic insight, and measurable impact.

At GMCI, we provide globally recognized certifications and intensive training programs designed to equip professionals with the skills, ethics, and vision required in today’s complex business environment. From junior consultants to seasoned industry leaders, our three-tier certification framework aligns with international best practices and is supported by a robust competency model rooted in real-world application.

Our reach is amplified through partnerships with top academic institutions and training centers around the world—including Harvard, MIT, Stanford, and Yale—ensuring our standards remain globally respected and locally relevant.

We believe that true consulting excellence goes beyond technical expertise. It is about fostering ethical leadership, strategic foresight, and a lifelong commitment to learning.
