The discussion on whether management consultancy should be considered a profession revolves around three main factors: specialized knowledge, ethical standards, and certification. Management consultancy demonstrates specialized knowledge by utilizing advanced methodologies and frameworks, and consultants typically have extensive expertise and experience in business management and strategy. This specialized knowledge corresponds to a fundamental characteristic of a profession. However, consultancy needs to be improved in other aspects. The industry does not have a unified, universally recognized ethical framework, which raises concerns about potential ethical challenges and inconsistencies in practice. Furthermore, no standardized certification process is required across the industry; even though certifications like the Certified Management Consultant (CMC) exist, they are not universally mandated. This partial alignment with professional criteria indicates that while management consultancy possesses some professional attributes, it does not fully meet all traditional standards, leading to ongoing debate about its professional status (Newton, 2019)
