accepted by each country and are essential for certification
Create an integrated international framework for
certification
Facilitate continuing professional development - CPD
Align consulting education and training to the competency
framework and CBK

Process of building standards
Why do we need a professional standard ? Who wants it ? Who will use it ? Who will provide the service ? Is the service amenable to standardisation ? Can we benchmark against other professional standards ? What should be the components ? Who will be the authority to grant the standard ? Who assess the authority ? What are the safeguards ? Who will hold the IPR ?
