This one feels special. Not just because it’s a global gold standard in information ...security, but because of the journey behind it — the real, messy, very human journey.
Think midnight coffees that somehow counted as “dinner,” documentation deep-dives that made us question every life choice, and endless “Wait… is this control airtight or are we just delirious?” debates.
Well...it was rigorous, it was intense, and honestly? We’re incredibly proud of how the team pushed through.
But more than anything, achieving ISO 27001 is our way of reinforcing one simple truth: trust isn’t claimed — it’s earned.
Our clients and partners put sensitive information in our hands, and this certification is proof that we protect it with discipline, structure, and heart.
It’s a proud moment for us at Consulting Quest — and a step toward even stronger, safer, more resilient ways of working together.
Every organization buys consulting. But here’s the irony — 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗳𝗲𝘄 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆’𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗱𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘁.
You can have a world-class procurement team, robust ...processes, and still miss one critical piece:
➡️ Maturity.
It’s the hidden blind spot that quietly drains consulting ROI — leading to inflated fees, inconsistent governance, and projects that deliver less impact than they should.
Why does it happen?
Because consulting isn’t like other categories.
It’s high-value, low-frequency, and deeply strategic — involving multiple stakeholders, abstract deliverables, and big bets for the business.
Yet it’s often managed with informal rules or outdated templates, instead of a structured maturity roadmap.
And the numbers tell a story of their own — 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗳𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝟭.𝟮 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝟯.𝟮 𝗼𝗻 𝗮 𝟰-𝗽𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗲.
But here’s the game-changer 👉 improving by just 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗽𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁 can 𝘂𝗻𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗸 𝟭𝟬–𝟰𝟬% 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 — without cutting corners or quality.
That’s where Helene LAFFITTE and Laurent Thomas, co-founders of Consulting Quest and Consource, have been making pioneering contributions.
They’ve spent years developing frameworks and maturity models that help leading companies 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲, 𝗯𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗵𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗲𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗲 their consulting procurement capabilities.
Now, they’re bringing those insights to a live audience in an upcoming webinar:
🎙️ “𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗗𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗢𝗿𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱? 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁.”
You’ll learn how maturity impacts performance, what best-in-class looks like, and how to map your own path toward excellence.
If you buy, influence, or oversee consulting services — this isn’t just another webinar.
It’s a mirror for your consulting strategy.
