If you are a member of the Association of MBAs and working as a business consultant you may also benefit from joining the Institute of Business Consulting.

In a market where consultants are often asked to state their professional affiliations, being a member of both AMBA and the Institute of Business Consulting equips you with differing, but complementary tools to enhance your overall business.

Here is a summary of how membership of both organisations could benefit you:

How AMBA membership enhances your business:

• Networking with senior business leaders and fellow MBAs

• Career development through MBA CareerWorld
• Access to our Career Surveys
• Access to membership of our regional committees and International Management Board
• Free subscription to Ambition magazine, our monthly E-News and Business Leadership Review (BLR)

How Institute of Business Consulting membership complements your AMBA membership as a business consultant:

• Free on-line access to one of the largest collections of consulting and management information in the UK, designed to improve understanding, behaviour and practice on topics of importance to business consulting professionals. You can also contact a researcher with your information needs and a response will be on its way to you within 24 hours.
• Free subscription to various publications, such as The Business Consultant newsletter, Professional Manager and Management Today.
• Updates on tenders and job opportunities, as well as industry networking opportunities through regional and central events.
