🔎 What is ISO 20700?

ISO 20700 provides internationally recognized guidance for the effective delivery of management consulting services. It defines best practices across:

  • Contracting and engagement clarity.

  • Governance and stakeholder alignment.

  • Structured consulting lifecycle.

  • Ethical conduct and professional behavior.

  • Value realization and measurable outcomes.

ISO 20700 strengthens trust between consultants and clients by clarifying expectations, roles, deliverables, and responsibilities throughout the consulting engagement.
