Connecting Business with Expertise
Consultants Corner is the global online meeting place linking businesses with specialized experts in business travel management currently under development by the Association of Corporate Travel Executives (ACTE) and industry members.
Three distinct services will be offered:
- A consolidated global marketplace for businesses seeking specialized expertise from qualified consultants
- A forum for established consultants to showcase their areas of expertise
- Start-up services and opportunities for new consultants
“ACTE believes that the industry is ripe for a centralized meeting place connecting businesses with qualified consultants around the world.” says ACTE Executive Director, Ron DiLeo. “Consultants Corner is ACTE’s response to the tremendous growth and evolution of the consulting profession within the procurement and travel management field.”
Aiming to further elevate the industry’s professional status, only consultants who have completed the “ACTE Certified Consultant” qualification process will be included in Consultants Corner, and, as such, agree to a code of conduct, ethics and terms and conditions. In addition, resources such as customizable presentation templates, sample contracts and professional development resources for both veteran and newcomer consultants will be offered.
For businesses searching for consultants, whether it is a large consulting firm seeking sub-contractors or a small business seeking expert advice, businesses will be able to search the online marketplace by various criteria including geographical locations, areas of specialization and type of project work. Businesses that retain consultants through Consultants Corner will have the opportunity to post feedback on the quality of the work performed and satisfaction with the individual consultant.
ACTE is targeted to launch Consultants Corner in April of 2011.
