CMCE Research Awards 2022
We announced the winners of our 2022 Research Awards at this online event. The awards celebrate research into various aspects of management consulting and support our aim of sharing new and emerging practice amongst our community and the wider industry.
This year we were delighted to welcome Professor Michael Mainelli as our guest speaker. As co-founder of Z/Yen, the City of London's leading commercial think-tank and venture firm, which promotes societal advance through better finance and technology, he is well-placed to offer a personal view on how research can inform excellent practice.
CMCE exists to promote the adoption of leading and emerging practice by stimulating innovative thinking and whilst this event is a celebration, it's also an opportunity for an introduction to thinking that's at the cutting edge. If you want to be informed about the future of the consulting profession, then this is the place to be.
A video of the event is available here and links to all the winning papers and the other resources referenced in the event can be found here.
