Last year we released the first-ever ConsultantReady^TM Report. The report was a huge success and showed it was definitely worth the effort (lots of pizza and caffeinated beverages went into that effort).

After taking in all the feedback, we decided a committee was needed to centralize and openly discuss the structure and evaluation criteria for the 2010 report. Therefore, we are happy to announce the formation of our first CRO open committee, the 2010 ConsultantReady^TM Report Committee.

Just like last year, we intend to qualify our framework, evaluation criteria, and grading methodology with our consultant members. However this year, we will allow one representative from each manufacturer evaluated to participate with feedback to the manufacturer member(s) of the committee. Consultant members don’t worry…. you are still the ultimate authority in the committee!

An email invitation will go out to consultants and manufacturers who expressed an interest early on.
All other interested parties should contact Susanne Ruse, our Director of Committee Strategic Planning and Development at [email protected].

At the end of April, we announced that Susanne Ruse joined CRO to head up our new effort to committee’ize ConsultantRegistry.Org. I realize that “committee’ize” is not a real word, but our effort to build functioning committees is real.

Building committees is a pretty involved undertaking and we want to make sure that they are relevant and effective. After months of testing collaboration tools and developing internal processes, we believe we are ready to launch our first committee.  Our committees will take on challenges that no single individual could possibly accomplish and maintain the current or relevant status.  These efforts are identified and some are services to our members, while others are ongoing to provide information to our industry or a particular industry segment.

In just a few days we will have more announcements and more information on the ConsultantRegistry.org Committees and other developments.  (we told you we haven’t been taking the summer off !)
