DIN EN 16114:2011-12 EN 16114:2011 (E) 5 Introduction
19、The Treaty of Lisbon and the issue of the Services Directive 2006/123/EC show that Governments are determined to create a borderless market for services. To support this strategy, CEN is establishing a set of service standards. Management consultancy services make a substantial contribution to the E
20、uropean economy. To promote and develop a single market for management consultancy services, the industry and its stakeholders have created this service standard. The aim of this standard is to improve transparency and understanding between clients and management consultancy service providers (herei
21、nafter referred to as MCSPs). This should lead to better results from consultancy projects and reduce barriers to cross-border trade in management consultancy services. Successful application of the standard should enable MCSPs to provide better value for clients and reduce risk in management consul
22、tancy assignments. By improving the quality, professionalism and interoperability of management consultancy, this standard is intended to enhance the effectiveness of the European management consulting industry and accelerate the development of the profession. This standard is based on good practice
23、 from the management consultancy industry in Europe. It includes recommendations to improve the specification, execution, acceptance and closure of management consultancy services, based on research and the experience of a wide range of MCSPs and their clients. This standard takes the form of an eas
24、y-to-understand guidance document, written from the perspective of the service provider. It applies to all MCSPs, whatever their size or specialism, but does not place requirements or obligations on individuals. Innovation and differentiation are important parts of an MCSPs value proposition. The st
25、andard focuses only on the outputs and outcomes; MCSPs are free to use their own methods and approaches. In summary, the guiding principles of this Standard are that it: a) is written as guidance; b) does not require certification; c) focuses on MCSPs, not on clients; d) focuses on MCSPs, not indivi
26、dual internal resources; e) is applicable to all MCSPs; f) is based on outcomes; g) protects innovation and differentiation; h) emphasises importance of understanding clients needs; i) is easy to understand. DIN EN 16114:2011-12 EN 16114:2011 (E) 6 1 Scope This European Standard gives guidelines for
27、 the effective delivery of management consultancy services. This European Standard is applicable to all MCSPs: public and private companies, government entities, not-for-profit organizations and internal consultancy units, regardless of their ownership, structure, size or specialism. This European S
28、tandard applies to any type of assignment for any type of client. It does not place any obligations on the client. This European Standard provides recommendations for carrying out management consultancy services, including: legal and ethical matters (see Clause 4); management, communications and eva
29、luation (see Clause 4); client relationships (see Clause 4); proposal and agreement (see Clause 5); planning and execution (see Clause 6); closure of the assignment (see Clause 7). This European Standard is independent from other normative or regulatory documents, such as: provision of support to sm
30、all businesses (see CEN/TS 99001); quality management systems (see EN ISO 9001:2008); public procurement (see Public Procurement Directive 2004/18/EC). This European Standard does not impose upon or interfere with any contractual obligations or intellectual property rights. Also, it does not require
31、 or imply a need for third-party certification. It is not intended for certification, regulatory or contractual use, and it is not intended nor designed to be used as the basis for any personal or organizational qualification. Any offer to certify, or claims to be certified, to this European Standar
32、d would be a misrepresentation of the intent and purpose and a misuse of this European Standard. As this European Standard does not contain requirements, any such certification would not be a demonstration of conformity with this European Standard. It is not intended to provide a basis for legal act
33、ions, complaints, defences or other claims in any international, domestic or other proceeding, nor is it intended to be cited as evidence of the evolution of customary international law. 2 Normative references Not applicable.
