Our partnerships
Management Consultancies Association
Huthwaite proudly maintains its affiliation with the Management Consultancies Association (MCA), which acts as the representative body for management consultancy firms in the United Kingdom. The MCA is renowned for its strict entry criteria and stringent Consulting Excellence Code of Practice, which ensure that member firms consistently provide high-quality services to their clients and observe provable ethical and internal quality standards.
Furthermore, Huthwaite has contributed actively to many MCA specialist areas, from our underlying design work and research for the MCA Consultancy Buyers Forum to our long-standing membership of the SME special interest group. We have also been pleased to run several specialist webinars and seminars on sales and negotiation best practice for MCA and Young MCA members for many years.

Cranfield University
As a business founded on methodologies built on science-led research and analysis, it’s vital that Huthwaite continues to collaborate with the best of academia so we can always translate the research we do into real-world application and impact, and to do this, we joined forces with Cranfield University's School of Management.
A top Cranfield Management MSc helped to update our original research into interactive skills and behaviours as applied to meetings. This research identified the original categories of Initiating, Reacting and Clarifying (IRC) behaviours and subsequent research sought to identify skill models based on optimum combinations of Verbal Behaviours in different contexts.
