On behalf of CEN/TC 381 I would like to inform CEN Members about the following current ballots on EN 16114 and its adoption to EN ISO 20700.
The initiative was started by the CEN TC 381 Secretariat on a request received by the Austrian Standards Body ASI.
Two actions need to be carried out by CEN/TC 381.
This is why we need the following two ballots covering different but joint subjects (the related documents are: Doc. CEN/TC 381 N. 62, Doc. CEN/TC 381 N. 63, available through the CEN standards bodies):
In June 2017, the international standard ISO 20700:2017 “Guidelines for management consultancy services“ was published.
ISO 20700 provides guidelines for the effective delivery of management consultancy services, drawing on knowledge and best practice from leading experts in the management consulting industry. Its aim is to improve transparency and understanding between clients and management consultancy service providers in order to achieve better results and reduce risk in consultancy projects.
